(e) If a partial agreement was reached, the report shall state which claims have been resolved and which claims are not resolved. Further, the report shall state whether the resolved claims will be concluded by consent judgment or voluntary dismissal and shall identify the persons designated to file such consent judgment or dismissal and indicate that such document shall be filed on or before the date set for post-mediation conference status.
(f) If no agreement was reached, the mediator shall so report without comment or recommendation. The mediator shall also complete such other forms as may be required by the Circuit Court.
