Claim & Defence

The initial stage of a mandatory mediation process involving the filing of a claim by the plaintiff and a response (defence) by the defendant.

Mediation Selection

Parties to the dispute actively choose a mediator to guide the mediation process. This step involves completing and submitting specific forms to the court and the chosen mediator.

Mediator Assignment

Once a mediator is selected, the court officially assigns them to the case and provides notice to all parties. The mediator then sets a date for the mediation session and informs the court and parties.

Mediator's Report

After the mediation session, the mediator files a report summarizing the outcome and any agreements reached. This report is filed with the court within a specific timeframe.
