BA know that if they offer what you’re looking for as a settlement just prior to the hearing - but with an NDA attached - you’d be mad not to accept.

Anyone with some soft social skills can see what has happened in Matt’s case.
A mediation is a compromise, it will be a compromise agreement rather than a judgment after a hearing with no automatic confidentiality clause. The claimant is under no obligation to accept the confidentiality clause.

As for Mattt1’s result, we can only assume what has happened - we cannot be certain. In litigation one shouldn’t assume but rely on fact.
