BENTON, J.
The Insurance Company of North America, Inc. (INA) appeals an order striking its pleadings and entering a default as a sanction for willfully violating an order referring the parties to mediation. The trial court concluded that INA violated the order solely because INA did not send a representative, other than its outside attorney, to mediation. Concluding INA's alleged misconduct did not violate the terms of the order, we reverse.
