A quote will be provided on request for mediations in rural centres, accounting for travel time and sundry expenses.

If a mediation is cancelled on short notice and Michael is unable to replace it, the right will be reserved to charge an appropriate cancellation fee.

Afternoon mediations can commence at either 2.00 or 2.30pm.

Michael is prepared to conduct mediations in rural centres. To do so requires sufficient matters to justify the time and expense and the cooperation of all parties to ensure the exercise is cost effective and of benefit to the litigants.

It is the responsibility of the parties to arrange the venue for the mediation. There are a variety of venues in the CBD - if required, suggestions can be provided. If a mediation is to be conducted at Ligeti Partners, it should be for two parties only, as the rooms are inadequate for multi-party litigation.

The mediation brief should be delivered not less than 3 days prior to the mediation. Its contents should be agreed between the parties, Michael has lists of documents that provide a guide for what should and should not be included in the briefs for different categories of mediation, which can be provided on request.

Defendants in multi-party litigation in the County Court are reminded that they are required, not less than 3 days prior to the mediation, to conduct a contribution conference. The purpose of the conference is to avoid the delay in dealing with the Plaintiff at the mediation if contribution between Defendants has not been resolved. There is a County Court practice note to that effect. Commonsense dictates that the same approach should be adopted in Supreme Court matters.
