Under CCP § 583.310, an action must be brought to trial within five years after it is commenced against the defendant. An action “commences” on the date the original complaint is filed with the court against the defendant. If other defendants are later added, those actions will have a different date of commencement.

Mediation is appealing because it allows parties to reach a collaborative settlement, but it could end in impasse. Arbitration, on the other hand, can wrap up a dispute conclusively, but it doesn't give disputants much say in the outcome.

Mediation does not impose a solution and it is not binding until the parties reach and sign a settlement agreement. If a settlement cannot be reached, the parties are welcome to continue with the arbitration process. Unlike an arbitrator, a mediator has no power to decide a dispute.
