On its own motion or the motion of a party, the Court may impose sanctions against any party or attorney who fails to comply or causes a party not to comply with these mediation rules. Sanctions may include an award of mediation costs and attorney's fees, including those incurred in the filing and presentation of the motion for sanctions, as well as a finding of contempt. At the discretion of the custody conciliator, the conference may proceed despite a party's refusal or failure to attend the mediation orientation sessions.
