Commencing Mediation Sample Clauses

Commencing Mediation. A. Any person may initiate mediation by informing PeaceWise of the nature of the dispute, the names of the other parties involved, and the remedy sought. If the parties are subject to a Mediation Clause, they will follow the provisions of that clause in terms of how mediation may be initiated. B. PeaceWise may postpone mediation until reasonable efforts have been made by the parties to resolve the dispute in private or with the help of their churches, pursuant to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 18:15-20 and 1 Corinthians 6:1-8. At the same time, PeaceWise may provide the parties with individual biblical counselling/coaching or written resources designed to facilitate a private resolution. C. PeaceWise or the Mediator may require any person (other than the parties but including lawyers and support persons) attending the mediation to sign an agreement not to use in a court of law any information acquired through mediation; this provides limited protection for communications made during the mediation process. D. Mediation may commence only after the parties sign a mediation agreement. If persons who have a legal interest in the dispute refuse to consent to mediation, mediation will affect only the rights and responsibilities of those joined as parties. E. All Mediation Agreements must contain a statement of the issues to be resolved. F. If legal action is pending at the time mediation is commenced, PeaceWise may require that the parties take steps to stay or postpone proceedings pending the conclusion of mediation. G. If a party believes that property or rights may be irreparably harmed by delay, he or she may request temporary (injunctive) relief or action.
