The Third Circuit Court of Hawaii reported mid-year statistics for its Foreclosure Mediation Pilot Project (FMPP) in the Summer 2010 Center for Alternative Dispute Resolution Newsletter, ADR Times. Launched in November 2009, the FMPP allows borrower-occupants facing judicial foreclosure to request mediation through the program. Once a request is submitted to the court, the case is then scheduled for a judicial conference in which a judge determines whether to order mediation. As of June 30th, 31 cases qualified for the FMPP, 27 requests for mediation were received and 18 judicial conferences were held. Of those cases, 12 were ordered to mediation, seven mediations were held and four cases reached agreement. Additionally, five cases are currently pending. The project is slated to continue through October 31, 2010.
