In a decision that will be good news for mediators, since it strikes a well-aimed blow on behalf of mediation confidentiality, the Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey concluded that a trial court had erred in permitting a mediator to testify at a plenary hearing and reversed the trial court’s order enforcing a purported divorce settlement.

The decision, Lehr v. Afflitto, can be downloaded in PDF format at the New Jersey Judiciary web site.
