Article 17. The actions of the state body during the mediation procedure in the case

When an agreement on conducting the mediation procedure is submitted by the parties to the body authorized to review the dispute in cases provided for by the law, the said body shall postpone the hearing of the case and set a term for conducting the mediation procedure. If the mediation procedure is carried out during the process of enforcing court documents and documents of other bodies, the enforcement proceedings shall be suspended for the duration of its implementation.

When conducting a mediation procedure, direct intervention by a state authority is prohibited.

The specific features of carrying out the mediation procedure after a case has been initiated in court shall be determined in the procedural legislation.

The mediation agreement reached by the parties during the mediation procedure in the course of judicial review or in the process of reviewing a dispute in the authorized body shall be immediately sent to the court or the authorized body in whose proceedings the relevant case is pending.

A mediation agreement reached by the parties during the execution of judicial acts and acts of other bodies shall be immediately sent to the state enforcement officer who has the enforcement document in their proceedings.

In the event that the dispute is resolved by a mediation agreement under the mediation procedure, the paid state duty must be refunded, except for cases where a mediation agreement is concluded during the execution of judicial acts and acts of other bodies.
