Can non-parties be present at the mediation?
So long as all parties agree, Brian Florence has no objection to non-parties being present. If there is an objection by one party or the other, it is Mr. Florence’s rule that non-parties not be present unless that non-party is essential to the decision making process. Non-parties can come for moral support but they will be asked to remain outside of the joint meetings. If parties decide to separate, non-parties are permitted to join while meetings occur in separate caucuses.
