Representation by agent
14.—(1)  A party to a mediation session is not entitled to be represented by an agent unless —
(a)it appears to the Director that —
(i)an agent should be permitted to facilitate mediation; and
(ii)the agent proposed to be appointed has sufficient knowledge of the matter in dispute to enable the agent to represent the party effectively; and
(b)the Director so approves.
(2)  Subsection (1) shall not prevent —
(a)where a body corporate is a party to a mediation session — an officer of the body corporate;
(b)where a corporation that is a body corporate constituted under section 10A of the Land Titles (Strata) Act (Cap. 158) is a party to a mediation session — a council or committee member or its managing agent;
(c)where a statutory body is a party to a mediation session — an officer of the statutory body; or
(d)where a society registered under section 4 or 4A of the Societies Act (Cap. 311) is a party to a mediation session — an officer of the society as defined in section 2 of that Act,
from representing that company, corporation, body corporate or society, as the case may be.
(3)  Where a Director approves of the representation of a party by an agent, the approval of the Director may be given subject to such conditions as the Director considers reasonable to ensure that any other party to the mediation session is not substantially disadvantaged by the agent appearing at the mediation session and, where the Director does so, the entitlement of the agent to represent the party shall be subject to compliance by the agent with those conditions.
