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, asserting that such disclosures undermine the confidentiality essential to mediation. The matter was adjourned to January 2011 at the request of the appellants' counsel.
