Ammendment to APPENDIX XXVI of the RULES GOVERNING THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, to be effective September 1, 2007:

GUIDELINES FOR THE COMPENSATION OF MEDIATORS SERVING IN THE CIVIL MEDIATION PROGRAM
These guidelines apply to the compensation that may be charged by all mediators serving in the Statewide Mediation Program for Civil, General Equity, and Probate cases.

15. Collection of Unpaid Mediator’s Bill/Failure to Mediate in Accordance with Order: If the court receives a written report (sent to the CDR Point Person in the county of venue) that a mediator has not been timely paid or that the mediator and/or a party has incurred unnecessary costs or expenses due to the failure of a party and/or counsel to participate in the mediation process in accordance with the Order of Referral to Mediation, the court either will make an effort to resolve the matter and/or sua sponte issue an Order to Show Cause why the mediator’s bill should not be paid or why a consequence, e.g., imposition of costs or fees, should not be imposed by the court.
