Summary

Within the last decade courts and tribunals across Australia have adopted innovative approaches for dealing with expert evidence. One of these approaches, the 'hot tub', has been used by the Federal Court as a means of dealing with anthropological evidence in native title trials. The 'hot tub', or several variations of it, has also been used for native title claims in mediation. This paper briefly examines the use of the 'hot tub' in native title trials and asks whether an approach developed for use in litigation can be used effectively in mediation
