Termination of mediator mandate permits removal for party application, conflict of interest, or mediator withdrawal. Termination of a mediator's mandate may be effected by a mediation service provider on three grounds: a party application under the cited provision, receipt of information alleging the mediator's conflict of interest, or the mediator's withdrawal. Termination for conflict of interest requires a hearing for the mediator and a finding of justifiable doubt as to independence or impartiality, notice to the parties, and a party's desire to replace the mediator.
