Colloque au Québec : Quel avenir pour la médiation dans le domaine de la santé? 10/12/2015


Chaire de recherche du Canada sur la culture collaborative en droit et politiques de la santé :

CONFÉRENCIERS

Dr François Lajoie, président du comité médiation santé de l’Institut de médiation et d’arbitrage du Québec (IMAQ) et médiateur accrédité

Me Jean Marois, avocat et médiateur, directeur du cabinet Professionnels en règlement des différends S.A

Me Catherine Régis, professeure à la Faculté de droit de l’Université de Montréal et médiatrice accréditée

RÉSUMÉ

Au Québec, nous assistons au développement d’une culture qui favorise la participation active des citoyens dans le règlement de leurs différends, et ce, dans plusieurs secteurs d’activités socio-économiques. La promotion des modes de prévention et de règlement des différends (PRD) au sein du Nouveau Code de procédure civile illustre cette tendance et nous observons un développement croissant de pratiques de médiation au sein des établissements de santé. Ce 5@7, qui prendra la forme d’une table ronde, a pour objectif de questionner le présent et l’avenir de la médiation dans le secteur de la santé. Pour quels types de conflits la médiation est-elle appropriée dans ce domaine ? Quels sont les défis propres à la médiation en santé? Qui peut pratiquer la médiation? Que pouvons-nous espérer pour le futur? Sur la base de leurs expériences pratiques et de leurs connaissances en médiation, nos conférenciers exposeront leur vision sur ces différentes questions. (extrait du site)

Etats-Unis : Médiation entre Saba Capital Management LP et un fonds de pension canadien pour un conflit portant sur un 1,6 milliard $


« Boaz Weinstein’s Saba Capital Management LP and a Canadian pension fund will be forced to mediate a dispute over whether the $1.6 billion hedge fund manipulated its investments in a way that cheated Canadian retirees out of returns.

Canada’s C$112 billion ($86 billion) Public Sector Pension Investment Board sued Saba in New York state court last month, saying the firm “artificially manipulated” the value of its investment in bonds of McClatchy Co . The retirement plan, one of Saba’s biggest investors, said that when it asked in January to get all of its money back at the end of March, Saba marked down a significant portion of the fund’s portfolio. It then boosted the value of the assets in April, depriving the Canadian pension fund’s investors of their due, Saba said. »  (Extrait de .bloomberg.com du 14/10/2015)

Médiation et confidentialité aux Etats-Unis : Mediations are supposed to be confidential… but are they really?


Phyllis Pollack

« Either as a participant in a mediation or as the mediator, we have all learned the cardinal rule that mediations are confidential both in terms of the statements and other communications made during the mediation and the information the mediator keeps to herself, not sharing it with the other parties. Many times a mediator has analogized mediation confidentiality to the television ad, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” to explain the sacrosanct nature of mediation confidentiality.

But, are mediations really confidential? While in theory, they are supposed to be, in court proceedings, they are not always so. Although a review of both federal and state statutes and case law indicates that mediation confidentiality is to be strictly construed and applied, in practice, this does not always occur. » (extrait de pgpmediation.com)

Québec. Médiation citoyenne : désamorcer le conflit par l’écoute


« Le principe de la médiation citoyenne est observé ailleurs au Québec. L’idée est de proposer un terrain d’analyse neutre et des solutions pour les citoyens qui sont aux prises avec un litige avec un autre individu ou encore avec une institution.

«On a connu une belle réponse depuis l’ouverture du service. On parle d’une demande par semaine environ», observe l’intervenante Mylène Trudel qui est responsable de ce volet à Volte-Face » . (Extrait de hebdodustmaurice.com du 4/10/2015)
