New York Notice of Referral of Case to Mandatory Mediation is a document issued by the court when a case has been referred to mandatory mediation (also known as court-annexed mediation). This document informs the parties involved in the case that they must attend mediation in order to attempt to settle their dispute. It further explains the mediation process, including the roles and responsibilities of the mediator, the parties, and their attorneys. It also typically outlines the expected costs associated with the mediation process. There are two types of New York Notice of Referral of Case to Mandatory Mediation: General Mediation Referral and Special Mediation Referral. General Mediation Referral is issued in cases where the parties agreed to mediation or when the court orders mediation in a non-complex case. Special Mediation Referral is issued when the court orders mediation in a complex case. Both notices require the parties to attend mediation and provide the same information regarding the mediation process.
