Who Attends The Mediation ?
Usually only the people directly involved in the dispute attend the mediation. If you are upset or unsure about the mediation you may select someone to attend as a support person. You may also organise to contact your solicitor during the mediation if this is useful to progress the matter. If all the parties at the mediation agree, you may make your agreement subject to checking by a solicitor after the mediation session. Mediators do not give legal advice.
The mediation session is limited to the parties involved and their representatives. Business entities are expected to have an authorized representative present to make decisions concerning the resolution of the dispute. No other parties shall attend the mediation session without the expressed consent of the mediator and the other parties. Childcare is not provided for the mediation process. Please make child care arrangements prior to your mediation.
