Mediation of small claims actions

All plaintiffs in small claims actions shall be informed upon the filing of their complaints that such actions may be submitted to a magistrate of the court for mediation and resolution at the request of either party and with the agreement of all parties. Such information shall be contained in a written notice to be given to the plaintiff personally or by mail at the time of the filing of the action. Such written notice shall be in the form approved by the Chief Administrative Justice of the Trial Court. If the plaintiff indicates to the court within ten days after this notice is given or sent that he desires mediation, the summons sent to the defendant or a notice included with the summons sent to the defendant shall indicate this fact and the fact that the defendant may consent to mediation on the date for which the case is scheduled.
