Mediation
Mediation may take place during the time scheduled for the pretrial conference. Mediation is a
process whereby an impartial and neutral third party called a mediator acts to encourage and
facilitate the resolution of a dispute between two or more parties, without prescribing what the
resolution should be. It is an informal and non-adversarial process, with the objective of helping
the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable and voluntary agreement.
In mediation, decision-making rests with the parties. Negotiations in county court mediation are
primarily conducted by the parties. Counsel for each party may participate. However, presence
of the counsel is not required. If a full agreement is not reached at mediation, the remaining
issues of the case will be set for trial. Mediation communications are confidential and privileged,
except where disclosures are required or permitted by law.
If you admit the claim, but desire additional time to pay, you must come and state the
circumstances to the court. The court may or may not approve a payment plan and may withhold
judgment or execution or levy.
RIGHT TO VENUE. The law gives the person or company who has sued you the right to file in
any one of several places as listed below. However, if you have been sued in any place other
than one of these places, you, as the defendant(s) have the right to request that the case be
moved to a proper location or venue. A proper location or venue may be one of the following: (1)
where the contract was entered into; (2) if the suit is on an unsecured promissory note, where
the note is signed or where the maker resides; (3) if the suit is to recover property or to foreclose
a lien, where the property is located; (4) where the event giving rise to the suit occurred; (5)
where any one or more of the defendant(s) sued reside(s); (6) any location agreed to in a
contract; (7) in an action for money due, if there is no agreement as to where suit may be filed,
where payment is to be made.
If you as the Defendant(s), believe the Plaintiff has not sued in one of these correct places, you
must appear on your court date and orally request a transfer, or you must file a WRITTEN
request for transfer, in affidavit form (sworn to under oath) with the court seven (7) days prior to
your first court date and send a copy to the Plaintiff or Plaintiff's attorney, if any.
A copy of the Statement of Claim shall be served with this summons.
