About the SCCMS

The SCCMS is an initiative established by the Singapore Mediation Centre (SMC) that aims to provide mediation services for cases where the quantum of claim is S$30,000 or less. 

Mediation is an alternative to avoidance, destructive confrontation or prolonged litigation. It gives people in conflict an opportunity to take responsibility for the resolution of their dispute and control of the outcome. 

Supervised by members of the SMC Panel of Principal Mediators, the scheme will focus on helping the public to settle commercial disputes amicably. The SCCMS will provide those seeking dispute settlements with a straightforward and hassle-free system. 

Benefits of the SCCMS 

• Cost Effectiveness – cheaper than litigation.

• Time Saver – faster dispute resolution.

•  Fewer Risks – retain control over the outcome.

• Preserves Relationships – an amicable process that requires both parties to work together.

• Private and Confidential – not exposed to the public and media.

Mediation Advisory Clinics will be held at the Singapore Mediation Centre to assist disputants in assessing their cases to ensure that they are suitable for mediation.
