If, in a comercial mediation, the mediator announced that one of the two parties would be involved in due course but "not yet" the mediation would be dead in the water.

Nobody. But nobody, participates in a mediation in which the outcome has already been privately agreed upon between the mediator & one of the parties.

Ah but this is different, they may say. No, it really isn't.
