Late cancellation of mediations cause immense problems for all concerned. To minimize this problem, the following late cancellation policy applies to all scheduled mediations.

Occasionally, it is necessary to incur certain expenses for large, multi-party complex cases. Examples include larger hearing rooms and/or additional caucus rooms. Such expenses will be identified and disclosed in advance and agreed to by the parties prior to invoicing by the mediator.
