If you have already filed a case with the court, your case will continue to move forward with your scheduled court hearings. Your next court hearing could be a pretrial conference, a hearing or a trial. If you do not reach an agreement in mediation, the outcome of the mediation will not affect your case. The mediator cannot be called to testify in court. The mediator cannot tell anyone about the discussions you had during mediation. Additionally, the mediator destroys their notes at the end of your mediation.
If you have not filed a mediation with the court prior to mediation, you may choose to file paperwork with the court or use another community service to help you resolve your dispute. The mediator cannot assist you with completing paperwork, nor can the mediator be called as a witness in court or tell anyone about the discussions you had during mediation. If you do not reach an agreement in mediation, the outcome of the mediation will not affect your case.
