- Court of Appeal
The mediated settlement agreement recording admissions made in FDR is not a "statement" privileged by s14 FDRA and is not confidential absent express agreement; the Commissioner was performing an administrative function (not acting judicially) and therefore was entitled to rely on the mediated agreement and accompanying documents to determine parentage and make a child support assessment under the Child Support Act 1991.
