Do I have to go to mediation?
No. Mediation is a totally voluntary process even if you are told otherwise. It relies on the participants to work towards a resolution of the issues in the conflict. If you are not willing to do this it is unlikely that you will reach an agreement or that any agreement will be sustainable. However, if you agree to mediation, the chances are that you will find any agreement more to your liking than other forms of dispute resolution because you will have had a significant input into the process of agreeing the outcomes. It must however be stated that mediation does not always resolve a dispute.
