The agreement reached at the end of the mediation process is called a Mediation Settlement. By default Mediation Settlements are legally binding upon the parties when signed, unless a clause to the contrary is inserted into the document. The way I draft my Mediation Settlements is mostly to have them legally binding at signing as it saves the parties additional future legal fees. However I always operate a system where the final draft is furnished to the client with instruction to forward to a Solicitor for pre signing review.
