109—Procedure

        (1)         Mediation of a residential park dispute may, at the discretion of the mediator, be adjourned from time to time.

        (2)         Unless the mediator decides otherwise, the mediation will be held in private and the mediator may exclude from the mediation any person apart from the parties and their representatives.

        (3)         A party must, if required by the mediator, disclose to the other party details of the party's case and of the evidence available to the party in support of that case.

        (4)         The mediator or a party may terminate a mediation at any time.

        (5)         A settlement to which a party agrees at a mediation is binding on the party provided that it is not inconsistent with this Act.

        (6)         The settlement must be put into writing and signed by or for the parties.

        (7)         The mediator may make a determination or order to give effect to the settlement.

        (8)         A determination or order made by a mediator under this section operates as a determination or order of the Tribunal.

        (9)         If a mediation is terminated because it appears to the mediator that it is unlikely that an agreed settlement can be reached within a reasonable time or for any other reason, the mediator must refer the matter to the registrar or deputy registrar for the listing of the matter before the Tribunal.
