If no agreement is reached the mediator draws up a final minute and the process ends; the parties can then take the dispute to court. Under the Law on Mediation in Civil Disputes (No. 6325), where the dispute is subject to mandatory mediation that minute satisfies the condition of action and is attached to the statement of claim.

What is said in the meetings stays there. The information shared and the proposals made are confidential and, as a rule, cannot be used as evidence in the case that follows. What does carry over is our own reading of it — the other side’s posture, and where the file is strong and where it is weak — which shapes the litigation strategy. So even a mediation that does not settle turns into serious preparation for the case.
