Documentation
Mediation may involve a range of document artefacts that are issued to you during or after you attend mediation services. Typically, in the event a mediation does not progress, a MIAM certificate can be requested to serve as evidence to the court that you have attempted mediation. If your mediation is successful, a Memorandum of Understanding will be drawn up by the mediator to reflect the agreed upon terms or arrangements. The information below describes in detail the different types of documentation we deal with
