Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court emphasized the confidentiality of mediation proceedings, stating that mediators should only report the outcome of mediation without disclosing any proposals or discussions that occurred during the process. The Court criticized a mediator's report for detailing offers made by the parties, reiterating that such disclosures undermine the mediation's confidentiality. The matter was adjourned for listing in January 2011 at the request of the appellants' counsel.
