Does the civil mediation document need the signature of the judge?
Mediation records need the signatures of both parties and their agents. According to the provisions of Articles 96 and 97 of the Civil Procedure Law, the conciliation statement shall come into effect as soon as the parties agree to sign or seal it. After examination and confirmation by the people's court, it shall be recorded in the record or attached to the agreement, and it shall become legally effective after being signed or sealed by the parties, judges and clerks. If the parties request to make a conciliation statement, the people's court shall make a conciliation statement and send it to the parties. If the parties refuse to accept the mediation agreement, the validity of the mediation agreement will not be affected. If one party fails to perform the mediation agreement, the other party may apply to the people's court for enforcement with the mediation document.
