Mediation can end in a written agreement, just as a Fair Trading mediation (which costs $70) can end in no binding decision. Many, in fact, are just a process where one party turns up and refuses to even discuss the matter. This, under our cockamamie Fair Trading laws, constitutes “participation”.
Either way, there has to be a willingness on both sides to reach a fair and equitable resolution – even if they start off thinking they are 100 percent right. It's all about the people – even good people get it wrong sometimes … but they will do the right thing eventually.
