REPORTER’S NOTE<br />

The Implementation Committee of the Maryl<strong>and</strong> Business <strong>and</strong><br />

Technology Case Management Program recommended adding to the Rules<br />

in Title 17 provisions concerning the “neutral expert,” including<br />

language clarifying that the expert is to be bound by<br />

confidentiality requirements.<br />

The proposed amendments to Rule 17-109 add to sections (a)<br />

<strong>and</strong> (b) the phrase “or otherwise participating in the mediation”<br />

to encompass the situation where a neutral expert provides<br />

technical background information in conjunction with the<br />

mediation, but is not present during the mediation. The proposed<br />

Committee note following section (e) draws attention to the<br />

applicability of sections (a), (b), <strong>and</strong> (e) to neutral experts.<br />
