Mediation communications are confidential and generally inadmissible, with narrow exceptions for misconduct, violence, abuse, or imminent public safety threats. Mediation communications and related documents are protected from disclosure: mediators, participants, advisers, experts and administrators may not be compelled to disclose communications, negotiation content, or party conduct in mediation, except to the extent necessary to prove or dispute claims of mediator professional misconduct or malpractice arising from conduct during the mediation; and no privilege applies to threats or plans to commit offences, information about domestic violence or child abuse, or statements showing a significant imminent threat to public health or safety.
