Abstract
The health crisis has led to many restrictions on individual freedoms, and failure to comply with them has been sanctioned, especially by administrative fines. However, municipalities also have the possibility to use mediation to promote compliance with local rules. A research conducted on the use of mediation in the Brussels-Capital Region during the health crisis shows that the measure is used in a circumstantial manner, for various reasons such as the legal framework but also the relations between actors. In our contribution, we will explain which opportunities but also which challenges local mediation (as well as mediators) was confronted with during the period of the health crisis.
