Common use of Duration of Mediation Clause in Contracts

Duration of Mediation. Legislation provides at Evidence Code Section 1125 that a mediation automatically ends if there is no communication between the parties and mediator for 10 calendar days, which time can be extended or reduced by written agreement. Pursuant to this legislation, you agree with me and with each other that the mediation shall end if, for three calendar months, there is no communication between me and either or both of you relating to your dispute. This does not mean that we cannot recommence the mediation if 90 days passes, we simply need to do so formally.
