The present rules on mediation shall apply whenever the parties have agreed for the mediation to be conducted in accordance with the Rules on Mediation of the Danish Institute of Arbitration (in the following referred to as ‘the Institute’). It follows from these rules that the Mediator shall neither decide the outcome of the dispute between the parties nor produce any draft settlements or other opinions in relation to the resolution of the dispute, unless the parties agree otherwise and the Mediator does not object to this, see par. 5-7 of Article 11.
