Fecomércio launches private conciliation chamber in RJ – 07/22/2023 – Panel SA

FecomércioRJ launches, this Monday (24), a private chamber of mediation and reconciliation aimed at companies in Rio de Janeiro in the trade of goods, services and tourism. Activities begin August 1st.

The objective is to expand access to justice, reduce procedural costs and provide more agility in the resolution of cases in progress through the mediation of these conflicts.

Currently, there are 17 chambers of the kind in operation in the state of Rio. According to the Court of Justice of RJ, last year alone, 9,662 conciliation hearings were held and about 33% (one third) resulted in an agreement, putting an end to the ongoing judicial process.

“Impartiality is one of the prerogatives of this service, which can benefit both employers and employees in the search for a consensus”, says Jacqueline Lippi, retired judge of the Regional Labor Court and legal consultant for FecomércioRJ.
