As you were doing the work as part of your paid employment, do
you have any public liability insurance in place?

OK, this is the story so far with this case, I read various
threads on this site and followed the advice in them by
submitting the preliminary defence via email attachment and not
the online form, participating in the mediation but keeping it
short and sweet by saying right from the off I won't be
offereing any counterclaim so I was off the phone within 2
minutes, completed the alocation questinnaire.
I then got a further letter from the court saying it was
proceding to a hearing and I had to get my defence in by the end
of the month, Cadent also had to pay the fee etc. Interestingly
it wasn't allocated to my local court as I'd asked on the forms
but was prepared to travel anyway, not sure if I may have got
moved at a later date though.
then I finally received this a couple of days ago.

I take it this is now job done? Do I have to do anything further
like still submit the defence by the due date or anything?
Footnote - what I will say though is how complicated it all is,
if you get taken to court, (usually by legal experts) its no
just a matter of writing "guily" or "not guilty" and taking your
punishment, there are quite a few steps you have to go though in
the right order and some of them really should be done by a
solicitor if you are just your random member of the public, I
can see how easilly it would be for someone to trip up and the
experts win by default even though you may have done absolutely
nothhing wrong, no wonder PPC's use this method to bully
payments out of people.
I wouldn't mind but most governemt forms like passports and
driving licence etc come with an idiots guide to fill them in
yet the court documents come with very little which is odd as
one slip up could cost thousands.
