Farm Debt Mediation in New Zealand Information Document

Farm Debt Mediation is now an established part of the legal landscape. The Farm Debt Mediation Act 2019 (FDMA) encourages creditors and farmers to resolve outstanding debt via mediation, before enforcement action is taken in respect of farm property.

Given the compulsory nature of obligations under the FDMA, understanding how and when this process applies is crucial for farmers, lenders, insolvency practitioners and their advisors.
