The Consumer Mediator shall inform the parties without delay of the occurrence of any circumstance likely to affect his independence or impartiality or likely to create a conflict of interest, and of their right to object to the continuation of his mission. If one of the parties consequently refuses to continue the mediation, the mediator’s assignment is terminated. Where the mediator is a legal entity, the natural person responsible for carrying out the mediation shall be replaced.
The mediator may not receive any instructions from the parties.
