(2) The approved mediator to whom is referred any specified employment dispute in a mediation request must issue to the claimant a claim referral certificate in respect of every unresolved specified employment dispute listed in the mediation request, if —(a) the respondent is given reasonable notice of, but does not attend, the mediation for that dispute; (b) no settlement is reached at the end of the mediation in relation to one or more of the specified employment disputes listed in the mediation request; or (c) the approved mediator is satisfied that there is no reasonable prospect of settling through mediation the specified employment dispute.
