However, if a judge is a member of the panel, the fee shall be $50.00. Only a single fee is required of each party, even if there are counterclaims, cross-claims, or third-party claims. The mediation clerk shall arrange payment to the mediators.\n\nIf a claim is derivative of another claim, the claims shall be treated as a single claim, with 1 fee to be paid and a single award made by the mediators.\n\nIn the case of multiple injuries to members of a single family, the plaintiffs may elect to treat the action as involving 1 claim, with the payment of 1 fee and the rendering of 1 lump sum award to be accepted or rejected. If such an election is not made, a separate fee shall be paid for each plaintiff, and the mediation panel shall then make separate awards for each claim, which may be individually accepted or rejected.","path":["MI Code","Chapter 600","Act Act-236-of-1961"],"source_url":"https://www.legislature.mi.gov/Laws/MCL?objectName=mcl-600-4909","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:31Z","sha256":"c229b03e81385e8401184d8cb0cad264a7dc58ad895ab11af80c946031b5d019","source_id":"us-mi","stale":false,"prev":"us-mi/mich.-comp.-laws-600.4907","next":"us-mi/mich.-comp.-laws-600.4911"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
