What is the court mediation process? Do you have to have a lawyer present?

I. Pre-litigation mediation procedures:

Prosecution-the parties choose pre-litigation mediation-the court arranges pre-litigation mediation-the mediator presides over mediation (no more than 20 days).

Mediation is successful-if the parties do not file a lawsuit, the court will not file a case and return the prosecution materials.

If the parties reach a settlement and withdraw the lawsuit, there is no need to produce documents, and the court will handle it in the way that the parties withdraw the lawsuit.

The mediation organization issues a mediation agreement, and the court files the case in the way that the parties withdraw the lawsuit.

The court filed a case and issued a civil conciliation statement.

Mediation is unsuccessful-file a lawsuit.

2. If the court conducts pre-litigation mediation, the parties shall decide whether to entrust a lawyer. If a lawyer is entrusted, a power of attorney is required.
