p0582 An employer's internal termination review board with the power to take evidence and make recommendations to the employer, lacking authority to render a binding decision and not acting for the purpose of facilitating or assisting the parties in reaching a mutually acceptable agreement, was neither an arbitrator nor a mediator, so the privilege for arbitrators and mediators regarding events at the proceedings over which they preside did not apply.CitationSAETA v SUPERIOR COURT (Review Board Privilege) 117 CA4 261 [See: EvC 703.5, 1119, 1115; CCP 1775.1; ChengCanindin v Renaissance 50 CA4 676, T/AT 12/96; Eisendrath v Superior Court 109 CA4 351, P/AT 7/03]
