Breslin v. Breslin 

Jim Coben 

 

Recreation of mediation in which court considered question of notice and appearance. Court precluded trust beneficiaries from challenging a mediated settlement because they were notified of the mediation but chose not to attend; dissent deemed the majority’s decision to be an improper terminating sanction against the non-appearing beneficiaries.
