# SAMPLE MEDIATION REQUEST LETTER

Date: 8 July 2029

Parties: Moorland Homes Limited and Priya Nair

## 1. Applicant and subject

Moorland Homes Limited invites Priya Nair to mediate the disagreement about the fence and access strip between 4 and 6 Orchard Yard, York YO10 4LP. The invitation is made in a genuine attempt to resolve the dispute before proceedings.

## 2. Scope of request

Moorland says the fence was moved in May 2029 and blocks the documented right of way. Priya says the old plan is unclear and that Moorland's contractors damaged her paving. Both positions are reserved.

## 3. Facts and reasons

The proposed mediation would address the boundary plan, temporary access, reinstatement or contribution to paving, future maintenance and costs. It would not require either party to admit liability or abandon urgent protective relief.

## 4. Identity and information

Moorland proposes mediator Sarah Bennett, a 3-hour remote or York meeting during August, with each party paying half initially. The parties may exchange title plans, photographs, invoices and relevant correspondence securely.

## 5. Response method

Any settlement will be recorded in a signed agreement and, if a deed or Land Registry application is needed, prepared in the appropriate form. Mediation communications remain without prejudice where the law recognises that status.

## 6. Deadline and remedies

If Priya declines, Moorland asks her to give reasons and an alternative ADR proposal. It will review limitation, pre-action conduct, costs and any need for an injunction before issuing proceedings.

## 7. Signature and records

Daniel Price signs for Moorland on 8 July 2029. The invitation may be accepted by email or post as separate permitted methods, and the parties should obtain independent legal advice before signing a settlement.
