Do I need to receive my mobile phone when I go to the police station for mediation?

Legal analysis: the mobile phone cannot be confiscated, but it can be temporarily kept by the parties.

Legal basis: Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning Civil Mediation by People's Courts.

Article 1 According to the provisions of Article 95 of the Civil Procedure Law, the people's court may invite enterprises, institutions, social groups or other organizations that have a specific relationship with the parties or have a certain connection with this case, as well as individuals who have special knowledge, specific social experience and a specific relationship with the parties and are conducive to mediation. With the consent of the parties, the people's court may entrust the units or individuals specified in the preceding paragraph to mediate the case. After reaching a mediation agreement, the people's court shall confirm it according to law.

Article 2 If the parties themselves reach a settlement agreement in the course of litigation, the people's court may confirm the settlement agreement according to law and make a conciliation statement according to the application of the parties. The period during which both parties apply for out-of-court settlement is not included in the trial limit. If the parties apply to the people's court for coordination and reconciliation activities in the process of reconciliation, the people's court may designate trial assistants or invite or entrust relevant units and individuals to engage in coordination activities.
