Statute overview

About this statute

This article defines mediation, an accredited mediator, and a settlement agreement. The provision lists the main stages of mediation: a preparatory session, an opening session, an exploration of the parties’ needs, an exploration of solutions, and a concluding session. The mediator should focus mainly on the parties’ needs, not only on the rights and evidence they present. The mediator should encourage the parties to settle the dispute through dialogue and may not force them to agree. Mediation communications are confidential and should not be disclosed, except in listed situations.
