The LLMS inherits the advantages of industry mediation and judicial mediation, overcomes the shortcomings of industry mediation and judicial mediation, and gains additional advantages. It has been proved to be a quick, flexible, inexpensive, efficient and effective mechanism for resolving insurance disputes. This article considers this new mechanism, its development, its features and advantages, its existing and potential issues and the way forward for the further strengthening of this mechanism.
