Confidentiality
The parties understand that all communications, (except the disclosure of financial information) to which the mediators are party, are made solely for the purpose of attempting to reach a settlement and are made on the basis that the communications are both (a) confidential and (b) will not be referred to in evidence in any court proceedings about the same issues.
The exceptions to this confidentiality are:
- Where a child or any other person is at risk of serious harm. In these exceptional circumstances, the mediator would normally seek to discuss the action to be taken with each of us before taking any action to contact the appropriate authorities.
- If the mediator has reason to believe that either party has benefited or may benefit from the proceeds of any crime there may be a duty to make a report or to terminate the mediation
