How are settlements enforced?

Mediation settlements are recorded in a settlement agreement. A settlement agreement reached through mediation is like any other contract.  If there is a breach of the terms, then the party who wants to enforce the agreement may take legal action to seek damages.

If there are problems with getting the other side to act as they promised under the settlement agreement it may be productive to have another session with the mediator.
