The Covid-19 Mediation Centre (PMC-19) Handled a Total of 290 Cases Since its Inception

Since its establishment on November 11, 2020, the Covid-19 Mediation Centre (PMC-19) has managed a total of 290 cases. The centre, which officially closes its operations on Sunday, aimed to facilitate the resolution of contractual disputes arising from the movement control orders and the broader Covid-19 pandemic. These disputes stemmed from individuals or entities being unable to fulfil contractual obligations due to the pandemic's impact.
Resolution of Cases at PMC-19

Out of the 290 cases referred to PMC-19, 79 were successfully resolved through mediation. This process allowed parties to settle their differences without resorting to lengthy and costly court proceedings. The emphasis was on achieving a win-win outcome for the Malaysian Family, as described by the caretaker Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Parliament and Law), Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.
Monetary Value of Resolved Disputes

The resolved cases at PMC-19 collectively involved a dispute value amounting to RM3.8 million. This figure represents the total sum of money or value of obligations that were settled through the mediation process. The mediation services offered were free of charge, further reducing the financial burden on those seeking dispute resolution.
Scope and Support for PMC-19

PMC-19 operated under the Temporary Measures for Reducing the Impact of the 2019 Coronavirus Disease (Covid-19) Act 2020 (Act 829). The centre accepted voluntary mediation for disputes not exceeding RM500,000, with an exception for construction contract disputes. The initiative was supported by mediators mobilised by the Malaysian Bar, the Sabah Law Society, and the Advocates Association of Sarawak.
