Schedules Schedule 10: Civil actions to which the 2008 Mediation Directive applies
Paragraph 1(1) provides that the prohibition on civil actions under section 43 does not apply to certain actions which have been subject to cross-border mediation to which Directive 2008/52/EC (the Mediation Directive) applies by virtue of Article 69(1)(b) of the EU Withdrawal Agreement.
	Paragraph 1(2) provides that in such cases the prohibition on civil actions has effect as if it instead required that an action which involved prior cross-border mediation (a) may not be continued unless it was brought on or after the later of the day of the Act’s first reading and the end of the period of eight weeks after the mediation ends; and (b) may not be brought on or after the day on which section 29 ends unless it is brought before the end of the period of eight weeks after the mediation ends.
