如未能如期进行调解, the mediator may report to the court that the mediation was not held. The mediator may but is not required to report the parties who attended or did not attend the mediation. However, a mediator shall not include mediation communications in the mediator’s report. The MEAC declines to offer best practices for cancellation windows but does provide rule guidance on the assessments of fees.
