Conciliation may be confirmed

If the attempt at conciliation is successful, the conditions of conciliation can be set down in an agreement. Conciliation may involve, for instance, financial compensation, work to be done or transmission of property.

At the request of the parties involved, the court may confirm the conciliation agreement. In that case, the agreement constitutes an enforceable judgement, which can provide the basis for recovery of, for example, a payment or compensation for damage or maintenance payment by enforcement order.

The same system of appeal applies to confirmed conciliation agreements as to other judgements. A decision on the confirmation of conciliation may be appealed against by submitting a notice of discontent to the District Court within a week and a petition of appeal within 30 days.

In case conciliation has not been confirmed, the conciliation agreement constitutes an ordinary agreement between the parties and is legally binding on them.
