Question one: Your circuit’s mediation report form which has the outcomes: “agreement,” “partial agreement,” “no agreement,” or “continuance” (adjournment), 符合《拉菲2客户端》和《拉菲2平台用户登录》的要求. 问题二:这明显违反了《拉菲2客户端》.730(a) to add the term “signed” to a description of an agreement in a mediation report. Question three: The interpretation of Florida Family Law Rule of Procedure 12.740(f)(1) on which this question is based is erroneous. Although rule 12.740(f)(1)允许当事人同意以电子方式或速记方式记录协议, that agreement must be “made under oath or affirmed” and the transcript of such agreement must then be signed by all parties before being filed with the court. | 规则10.420(c)规则1.730 (a) & (b)规则12.740 (f)(1)-(3) MEAC 的意见 2010-007 §44.404, 佛罗里达州. 统计.

The MEAC remains confident in its previous decisions, most recently 2010-014. Upon the request or demand of a party at the mediation, the mediator must declare an impasse. 调解员必须按照《拉菲2客户端》行事，并且必须进行调解，以保护自决原则.

Answer to Question Three: 调解员应在评估当事人有意义地参与和理解协议条款的能力后，尊重当事人的自决权.

Since it is not appropriate for the mediator to make the determination to cancel the mediation, 调解员不能向法官提交一份报告，说明调解员这样做了. D. This question is beyond the jurisdiction of the MEAC; however, care should be taken to ensure that the unit does not provide any service that would cause mediators to compromise their integrity or impartiality. | Rules 10.230, 10.310, 10.330(a), 10.360, 10.370(c), 10.420(b), 10.500, 10.620, and 10.900, Committee Note to rule 10.310, 规则1.730(a), Rule 8.290(o)(2), 规则12.740(f)(3), Section 44.401- Section 44.406，佛罗里达州法规MEAC意见2000-003和2006-003 | |

仅与先前调解协议的原四方当事人中的三位进行第二次调解(第四方当事人不知道第二次调解), which was based on the occurrence of a contingent event, 在意外事件发生的最后期限之前, would be inconsistent with your ethical obligations. | Rules 10.310, 10.330(a), and 10.620, 佛罗里达州认证调解员和法院指定调解员规则 Committee Note to 规则10.330 | |

A. While a mediator may facilitate discussion on the subject between the parties, 调解员不得对参加调解的当事人“发号施令”. B.

Given the judge’s intervention, 调解员必须仔细监督当事人参与调解的情况，以确定当事人行使自决的能力，如果任何一方不能或不愿有意义地参与调解过程，调解员必须准备好终止调解. 调解员作为“调解人”将“协议”写下来并不能免除其道德责任.” | Rules 10.220, 10.230, 10.300, 10.310(d), 10.420 (a) & (b), 10.900 Section 44.404(1)(b), Florida 统计utes Chabotte v.

A. Pursuant to 家庭 court rules, a mediator is obligated to see that a mediated agreement is reduced to writing, but is not obligated to write the agreement. 这一规则与要求调解员准备同意令的法律规定并不冲突, 因为这条规定仅仅要求将这种协议纳入调解员准备的同意令.B. 而调解员不能强迫已经达成协议的当事人将协议以书面形式写下来并立即签字, the mediator does have the obligation to “discuss with the parties and counsel the process for formalization and implementation of the agreement,并确保协议“得到适当的纪念”.” | Rules 10.420, 10.520; 12.740 Section 61.183, Florida 统计utes MEAC 95-009 | |

A mediator shall adjourn or terminate a workers’ compensation mediation where there is a complete absence of bargaining ability. This determination must be made on a case by case basis.
