Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
- Mediators are individuals trained in negotiations, who bring opposing parties together and attempt to work out a settlement or agreement that both parties accept or reject.
- Mediation is not binding.
- The non-binding nature of mediation means also that a decision cannot be imposed on the parties. In order for any settlement to be concluded, the parties must voluntarily agree to accept it.
- Unlike a judge or an arbitrator, therefore, the mediator is not a decision-maker.
