Mediation Privilege Bars Evidence From Mediator Unless Parties Specifically Agree

Posted by Bo Links - October 18, 2010


Discussions that occur in mediation are confidential and cannot be introduced into evidence in later proceedings. And when it comes to the mediator, such testimony cannot be compelled “unless all parties to the mediation expressly agree . . . .” (Cal. Evidence Code section 703.5; see also, Evidence Code section 1119.)
