Article R324-9 of the French Intellectual Property Code

The mediator shall summon the parties to be heard from the outset of the mediation.

He shall invite the parties to provide him with any clarifications he deems necessary and may hear any person whose hearing he deems useful. The parties may be assisted by a lawyer or by any person of their choice who has been approved by the mediator. Only persons summoned by the mediator may take part in meetings.

The mediator may not retain any fact, grievance, item of information or evidence without notifying the parties concerned under conditions that allow them to discuss the merits of the case.

Article R324-9

Le médiateur convoque les parties pour les entendre dès le début de la médiation.

Il invite les parties à lui fournir toutes les précisions qu’il estime nécessaires et peut entendre toute personne dont l’audition lui paraît utile. Les parties peuvent se faire assister par un avocat ou par toute personne de leur choix qui a reçu l’accord du médiateur. Seules sont admises à participer aux réunions les personnes convoquées par lui.

Le médiateur ne peut retenir aucun fait, grief, élément d’information ou de preuve sans en aviser les parties intéressées dans des conditions permettant à celles-ci d’en discuter le bien-fondé.
