The Spanish law also allows for means of conflict resolution through which the confronting parties, with the assistance of a neutral professional (a mediator), look jointly for a solution for both.
The mediation or intervention is voluntarily held. It is certainly voluntary, but not free from commitment. The parties involved are expected to make an effort to really find a solution to their problem.
The advantages of the mediation are that it is fast, simple and flexible. Costs are usually lower, and the parties are directly responsible for the resolution of the conflict. Besides, the mediation is tailored to each case.
