When we say something is legally privileged, it means that you cannot use it as evidence in court unless all affected parties give their permission.In mediation, with a few exceptions, everything is legally privileged. This is crucial because it allows you to freely discuss and explore ideas during mediation without the fear that your statements could be used against you in court if an agreement cannot be reached.If substantial agreements are reached in mediation, they can be easily converted into legally binding form, typically with the assistance of a solicitor.
