Mediation Agreement/Agrrement in principle

A year ago I signed a scratched out mediation agreement in a civil lawsuit that I was a pro se defendant in the state of Florida. The opposing attorney said he would type up the agreement and send it to me to sign. He never did. I called a couple of times stating I wanted a couple of things re-worded and another deleted. Now, 15 months later they have filed for a judgement. I have an evidentury hearing I must attend. I am arguing that the agreement was only in principle and not binding. Any cases or other things I could cite to the judge?

Re: Mediation Agreement/Agrrement in principle

It depends on the wording of what you signed. Normally, the mediation agreement is final unless it contains language to the contrary.
