NOTARIZATION OF MEDIATION AGREEMENT: PROCEDURAL CONDITIONS

Abstract

In 2019, amendments were made to the Fundamentals of the Legislation of the Russian Federation on Notaries, which expanded the list of notarial actions. In particular, such an action as notarization of a mediation agreement has appeared. At the same time, the legislation on enforcement proceedings and the law on mediation were changed. The authors propose to distinguish two components when performing this notarial act: analyze compliance with the procedural conditions for concluding a mediation agreement and check the legality of the content of the mediation agreement. This article is devoted to procedural conditions; the authors indicate what exactly the notary should check in relation to the mediator and the mediation procedure. The article discusses documents confirming the requirements for the mediator, compliance with the rules of the mediation procedure, and also indicates circumstances that can only be established on the basis of the assurances of the parties
