Confidentiality
FMJ clients cannot call FMJ mediators as witnesses, nor require them to produce as evidence any records or notes relating to mediation in any formal or informal legal process, nor will the mediator act or agree to act as a witness, expert or consultant in any such processes.
According to the Confidentiality Agreement signed by both parties and documents being ‘legally privileged’ and ‘without prejudice’, information from FMJ documentation should not presented at court, with the exception of the Open Statement of Financial Information.
Recording of sessions is not permitted without all parties’ (including mediators’) consent. Any recording is confidential and cannot be used in evidence in any future court proceedings.
In the event the court orders FMJ mediators to give evidence and/or disclose files;
i) the party who has made the relevant application to the court will fully indemnify FMJ in respect of the mediator’s fees and expenses
ii) if the court has made an order requiring the mediator to attend, give evidence and/or disclose documents, the parties will be jointly liable for the mediator’s fees and expenses.
