The mediation community mourns the loss of Michael Leathes, a distinguished figure whose contributions have profoundly shaped the field. Michael was instrumental in the establishment of the renowned IMI – International Mediation Institute (IMI) and he served in a pro bono capacity as the first Executive Director of the institution. In addition, he was heavily influential in the Working Group which recommended the setting up of the Singapore International Mediation Centre (SIMC) and the Singapore International Mediation Institute (SIMI). SIMC is privileged that Michael acted as one of two key mediators in the longest-running complex cross-border dispute at SIMC. It was successfully mediated. Michael Leathes’ legacy will continue to inspire the field of international mediation. His impact on the practice and his dedication to the principles of fairness and justice will be remembered with respect and admiration. Thank you, Michael, for your extraordinary contributions to the mediation world, you will be dearly missed.
