Mediation Confidentiality

Mediation confidentiality is a legal principle that protects the privacy of the discussions that take place during mediation sessions. It means that anything said or shared during mediation cannot be used in court or disclosed to others outside the mediation process. This confidentiality encourages open and honest communication between parties, as they feel secure in sharing sensitive information without the fear that it will be held against them later. Overall, it helps facilitate resolution in disputes by creating a safe space for negotiation and dialogue.
