In private mediations, some mediators have a practise of not preparing the settlement agreements for the parties or being very careful when they are tasked with this job. The simple point is that settlement agreements arising from mediations can be legally binding documents and if there is a dispute about the validity of the agreement, then it may turn on who actually recorded the agreement and whether it was correct.
