As part of the mediation and legal proceedings it was agreed that the operative terms of the settlement agreement which concluded the litigation concerning the Surrey children’s procurement be and remain confidential to the parties. It is very important, for reasons of public policy, that communications between parties to a mediation, and between those parties and the mediator, remain private and confidential.
