Frequently Asked Questions
Does this act cover an informal agreement to try to settle without a trial?
Only if the agreement meets the specific requirements set out in Section 3304 -- an informal understanding that doesn't meet those requirements falls outside the act.
What if my collaborative agreement was signed before the act took effect?
Section 3303 applies the act only to agreements signed on or after its effective date, so an earlier agreement wouldn't fall within its scope.
Who decides if my agreement meets Section 3304's requirements?
Ultimately a tribunal, if the question arises -- Section 3320 even lets a tribunal treat a defective agreement as valid in some circumstances.
