If the Defendant and the victim, or the persons in their behalf, enter into an agreement for bringing their dispute to an end by way of waiver, conciliation or payment, before the mediator takes over his duties; b. If the Defendant and the victim sign the conciliation agreement before the specified time limit expires; c. If the Defendant, the victim and the mediator unanimously agree to terminate the Criminal Mediation before they reach a conciliation agreement for whatever reason; d. If either the Defendant or the victim notifies the mediator or the Public Prosecution of its desire not to pursue the Criminal Mediation process; e. If the mediator notifies the Public Prosecution that the Criminal Mediation is ineffective or that there is no possibility to reach conciliation between the Defendant and the victim, due to lack of any form of cooperation during the Criminal Mediation sessions, or due to failure of either party or both parties to appear; or f. Due to expiration of the Criminal Mediation time limit without being extended. 2. Under any circumstances, the mediator shall, upon termination of the mediator procedure, deliver back to each party all the papers and statements submitted by the latter, and shall be prohibited from retaining their originals or copies thereof. In addition, the mediator shall send to the Public Prosecution a report on the result of Criminal Mediation within three [3] business days starting from the date of termination of the Criminal Mediation for whatever reason.
