Are the parties obligated to pay a fee if they request a substitution of mediators after the Commission has already appointed someone to mediate the case?
If the parties request the approval of a selected mediator after the appointment of another mediator by the Commission, and the substitution of mediators is allowed, the Commission will generally require the parties to pay a $100.00 substitution of mediator fee to the Commission and pay the administration fee owed to the mediator initially appointed by the Commission.
