1. Recently I had a dispute with someone regarding the date of returning money by an individual to me. This individual had borrowed money from me and had promised to return the borrowed money by the last day of the first week of February. However, the argument made by this individual had been that this individual had promised me to return the borrowed money by the first day of the last week of February. The contract had been verbally formed. If I had to mediate my dispute with this individual, I would prefer evaluative mediation.
