ORS 36.283
Confidentiality of mediation communications and agreement

Except as provided under ORS 36.220 (Confidentiality of mediation communications and agreements) to 36.238 (Application of ORS 36), if the parties to a mediation described in ORS 36.280 (Mediation of disputes related to interference with farming practices) have agreed in writing that all or part of the mediation communications or all or part of the terms of a mediation agreement are confidential, a cause of action exists against a party that discloses the confidential communications or terms for damages resulting from the disclosure.

ORS 36.280 (Mediation of disputes related to interference with farming practices) does not require a party to a mediation proceeding to disclose confidential business information or to disclose other confidential information that may be adverse to the legal interests of the party. [2015 c.630 §2]
