Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties, the parties’ legal counsel shall not be present at any scheduled mediation sessions conducted under the provisions of ORS 36.100 (Policy for ORS 36.100 to 36.238) to 36.175 (Rules for administration of dispute resolution programs).

(2)

Attorneys and other persons who are not parties to a mediation may be included in mediation discussions at the mediator’s discretion, with the consent of the parties, for mediation held under the provisions of ORS 36.185 (Referral of civil dispute to mediation) to 36.210 (Liability of mediators and programs).

(3)

The mediator, with the consent of the parties, may adopt appropriate rules to facilitate the resolution of the dispute and shall have discretion, with the consent of the parties, to suspend or continue mediation. The mediator may propose settlement terms either orally or in writing.

The action shall then proceed in the normal fashion on either an expedited or regular pretrial list.

(6)

The court shall retain jurisdiction over a case selected for mediation and shall issue orders as it deems appropriate. [1989 c.718 §21]
