The correct answers are 1 and 3. The other options are false; Mediation does not produce legal precedents- only litigation can do this. Mediation is a cheap dispute resolution option (much cheaper than arbitration or litigation) and the third party has no authority on the matter- they are there as a facilitator of dialogue, not to make a judgement.

I’m uncertain if mediation is really expensive; I thought it could be cheaper than going to court.

I feel like I’ve seen a question about mediation being used as a stalling tactic before, so I might choose that one.

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this. I know mediation is used to avoid litigation, but I can't remember if it produces legal precedents or not. I'll have to review my notes on this.

I feel pretty confident about this one. Mediation is a flexible process where the third party helps the parties reach an agreement, but doesn't make a judgement. So E is false.

Okay, I've got this. Mediation is flexible and doesn't produce legal precedents, so B is definitely false. And mediation is usually less expensive than going to court, so D is also not true.
