Overview

There may well be a collective sigh of relief when mediation ends in the early hours of the morning with the parties reaching a settlement. However, the possibility exists of a challenge to a mediated settlement agreement on the basis of a misrepresentation or some other ground such as duress. Exceptionally, there may also be the possibility of a claim against the mediator.

In this briefing, Wragge & Co's dispute resolution team examines the grounds on which it may be possible to set aside a settlement reached at mediation. Additionally, the article looks at whether there are any circumstances in which a mediator may be found liable for the way he or she carried out their role.
