If the mediation is cancelled or rescheduled within 14 days of the date set for mediation, a cancellation fee of 50% of the daily rate per party will be charged to each party. The mediator may excuse the cancellation fee if the cancellation is due to medical reasons, court intervention, or an event beyond the parties’ control.
