Synthèse Legislator

A dispute arose concerning the scope of protection afforded by a statutory privilege concerning communication during formal mediation proceedings, where one party alleged that statements made during settlement discussions were improperly disclosed and used against them in subsequent litigation. The court reasoned that the statutory privilege was intended to promote open and candid settlement discussions and, therefore, broadly construed its application to bar the introduction of communications made during the formally mandated mediation process, regardless of whether those statements were directly related to the final settlement attempts, because the overarching purpose of the mediation statute was to facilitate resolution.
