Procedure
The request to initiate a conciliation procedure may be submitted in text form, for recording at the office of the conciliation body or in electronic form. It must include a description of the facts of the case, the objective pursued, the name and address of the applicant and the public body involved.
The following criteria lead to the rejection of a request for arbitration:
- Ongoing or completed court proceedings with the same subject matter
- Arbitration proceedings are not directed against a public body
If you are not sure whether your case can be asserted as a conciliation procedure, please contact the office for an initial assessment by the conciliators* appointed by the citizens of Bremen. They are all qualified to hold the office of judge and have the expertise and skills to settle disputes in the area of the BremBGG. They are independent and not bound by instructions.
The conciliation procedure ends when the parties involved reach an agreement, the request for conciliation is withdrawn or it is determined that no agreement is possible. If no agreement is possible, the conciliation procedure ends with the delivery of the conciliation office's confirmation to the applicant that no amicable settlement could be reached.
