Can I tell people what happened in the mediation?

The short answer is ‘no’.  One of the key principles of mediation is that it is confidential.  All the parties will have signed the agreement to mediate which will usually include a reminder that mediation is confidential.

The Mediation Ordinance now gives a statutory basis to confidentiality.  The Mediation Ordinance also provides examples of situations in which information can be disclosed.
