THE MEDIATION AS AN ALTERNATIVE SYSTEM AND COMPLEMENTARY RESOLUTION OF CONFLICTS IN THE CONTENTIOUS-ADMINISTRATIVE JURISDICTION

The subject matter of this article is innovative and is in an embryonary phase. Mediation has yet to find its place and use within the administrative process. Indeed, we lack the concept of mediation, we do not aware of its benefits and we are not convinced of its generosity as a usuful resource in our legal system, observing this institution, more often than not, with certain misgivings, perhaps, with distrust for the difficulties to find a suitable place in the framework of the administrative process. Hence the annotations to be found here serving to timely reflect, face with case overload, the general tendency to resort to judicial resolution that courts must withstand and the necessary delays to be, therefore, in judicial pronouncement, mediation - as alternative to dispute resolution or as a way to manage conflicts- may appear as an effective and agile tool to alleviate the overload of courts and to diminish the traditional litigation. Undoubtedly mediation is not panacea and it is not a solution to the problems facing our legal system, but rather can contribute actively to it by offering citizens additional alternatives, often better, to solve pending conflicts.
