Pacific Mediation Solutions

We are Tuiloma Sina Retzlaff & Nynette Sass and we wear many hats besides running our respective Consultancies: Pacific Global Consultancy & Sass Consult. We are Accredited Mediators (with the Ministry of Justice Courts & Administration in Samoa) since 2012 and have been mediating successfully since then. The cases handled have been referred from the Ministry through its Court Annexed Mediation Unit(CAMU)

The types of cases mediated vary in scope and sizes and the following are some of the types that we have handled:
o Civil Matters
o Contractrual Breaches:
 Outstanding Accounts
 Non payment of loans
 Breach of business contracts
o Family Matters:
 Maintenance
 Land disputes
 Family disputes
o Village group disputes
o NGO disputes
o Conflict Resolution Trainings

As a means to expedite and facilitate the settlement of court cases, the Min. of Justice now refers most civil matters from the District; Family and Supreme Courts to Mediation in the first instance. In the event they are not settled, then the cases are referred back to court. All this takes time and money. We recognise the suffering, pain and stress brought on by being in a constant state of conflict, can be debilitating, emotionally draining and can greatly affect one’s health. There is also the matter of financial burdens that come with it. It is with the desire to assist grieving parties to resolve their disputes in a timely manner, thereby lessening the pain, suffering, stress and financial pressure as well as helping to mend and restore relationships, that we have agreed to offer our services directly to the public.
