The abstract question of whether a mediation can be continued "indefinitely" is interesting ... but the relevant question is what happens when one party wants a release and the mediator says "not yet"
Do you sue the mediator? How long would that take to get a release if, as you state
1) a mediator doesn't have unlimited discretion to extend mediation, and
2) a mediator is abusing their discretion
You gotta assume that any mediation you're in is indefinite because you don't have any practical control over when it ends.
