John W. Hughes, P.C. : Mediation Services in Fort Worth, Texas

Mediation is charged on an hourly basis for a minimum number of hours and divided among the parties (negotiating units) as set out below. In regard to the division of mediation cost, the mediator determines how many (negotiating units) are involved in the case. Each party is responsible for this portion of the mediation fee. An example of a negotiating unit is a husband and wife who are making or defending a common claim. They would be considered one negotiating unit. Another example of one negotiating unit would be a business organization with several business associates, all with the same interest in a piece of litigation and a common attorney. The determination of the mediator as to the number of negotiating units is final.
