Public Nuisance Dispute Mediation Act Article 27

Should the parties have difficulty in reaching an agreement, the mediation committee shall, taking all factors into consideration and striving for a balance of the interests of both parties, propose a mediation proposal upon the approval of more than one-half of the whole body of committee members and designate a period of less than 45 days within which the mediation committee advises the two parties to accept the proposal. When necessary, the period may be extended with another 45 days.Should the parties involved fail to express their disagreement with the proposal within the period designated in the foregoing paragraph, the mediation proposal shall be deemed accepted by both parties and the mediation concluded.When one or several persons in a party of more than two persons with a common interest have expressed disagreement with the proposal within the period designated pursuant to Paragraph 1 of this Article, the mediation proposal shall not bind on these persons. The mediation proposal shall, however, be considered as accepted by the rest of the party. Should the persons who have expressed their disagreement with the mediation proposal within the designated period constitute more than one-half of the total number of individuals in their party, the mediation shall be regarded as unachieved.When the mediation committee acts in an advisory capacity as referred to in Paragraph 1 of this Article, it may make the mediation proposal public if it finds the situation to be appropriate.
