What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Minnesota. I have an existing judgment against a company. The company has asked us if we would be interested in mediation, so we agreed. Mediation has been scheduled. The defendants lawyer has notified us of their intentions after mediation. They will seek to vacate the judgment. Would that be considered a threat, possibly aimed at pressuring me to settle for a lesser amount? The reason I ask is because I suspect the defendant of bankruptcy fraud and tax evasion. If we are at mediation and let them know of my intentions of turning them in for bankruptcy fraud and tax evasion, would that be considered a threat? I have read and believe I understand the rules of mediation. If I'm understanding it correctly, we can say or produce documents and they cannot be introduced into court proceedings at a later date. I guess the real question here is would I be crossing a line if I told the defendant at mediation of my intentions to turn them in after mediation is complete? I certainly don't want to cross that line if there is one. Your comments and/or questions are welcome. Thank you.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
