The concept of restitution covers payment for losses sustained and proved. You cannot be repaid for something that is yet to happen because it may never happen. If you anticipate future harm due to the conduct that is the subject of mediation, then you should leave the possibility of future payment as a condition to mediation conclusion and negotiate how that future payment will be determined.
