For me the loss suffered is a cause of pain and sincere emotion. It is with this feelings that I offer my condolences to Paul’s family. I had the privilege to meet Paul for the first time during a course in Mediation Advocacy held at Regent’s. From the outset it was clear to me he really was the driving force behind (and before) that pioneering endeavor, always present and available for the bystanders with his insightful reflections and acute wit. I saw him a couple of times more, later on, always being captivated by his friendly mode and strong personality. The world of mediation has certainly lost one of its Champions. His teachings, his writings and the great memories of him, however, will survive his death. Federico Antich
