§ 78B-10-103. Scope.
Latest version.
-
(1) Except as otherwise provided in Subsection (2) or (3), this chapter applies to a mediation in which: (a) the mediation parties are required to mediate by statute, court, or administrative agency rule or referred to mediation by a court, administrative agency, or arbitrator; (b) the mediation parties and the mediator agree to mediate in a record that demonstrates an expectation that mediation communications will be privileged against disclosure; or (c) the mediation parties use as a mediator an individual who holds himself or herself out as a mediator or the mediation is provided by an entity that holds itself out as providing mediation. (3) If the parties agree in advance in a signed record, or a record of proceeding reflects agreement by the parties, that all or part of a mediation is not privileged, the privileges under Sections 78B-10-104 through 78B-10-106 do not apply to the mediation or part agreed upon. However, Sections 78B-10-104 through 78B-10-106 apply to a mediation communication made by a person that has not received actual notice of the agreement before the communication is made.
