Confidentiality in Mediation

Confidentiality in mediation means that everything discussed during the process is private and cannot be shared or used as evidence in other legal cases. This encourages open communication, honest dialogue, and trust between parties, helping them work towards a mutually agreeable resolution. Mediators also agree to keep everything discussed in confidence unless all parties agree otherwise. This confidentiality creates a safe space where parties can explore options without fear of their statements being used against them later, fostering honest negotiation and effective problem-solving.
