Is everything that takes place in mediation kept confidential?

You are here

Yes. The Court Rules for Mediation prohibit disclosure of anything that is said or that takes place in mediation. There may be an exception to this rule in the case of the commission of a crime or breaking a civil law. In the absence of those exception, when the mediation ends, the only thing that the mediator can tell Court is that the case settled or that it did not settle.
