Hi all,
Does anyone know if judges ever award costs during a Settlement Conference? I am being taken to court next week even though I agreed to mediate, had an intake meeting with the mediator (so did he) and agreed to further mediation. He is insisting on keeping his court date even though the mediator even asked his lawyer to vacate it so we could mediate “in good faith”. I have had to pay my lawyer to draft briefs and will have to pay for him to be at the conference where we will surely be ordered to mediate....because we’ve both agreed to it.
Are costs ever awarded when it isn’t yet a trial?
