Privilege for mediation and without prejudice communications is maintained because plaintiff failed to show a clear or seriously arguable case that communications were for a dishonest purpose or that the interests of justice outweighed privilege; the plaintiff's substantive causes of action (abuse of process and alleged enforceable mediation good faith duty) have no real prospect of success and the statement of claim is an abuse of process and is struck out (alternative summary judgment for defendants).
