Hello,
Sent the message to them as per advice. However day 10th and no
reply, so looks like the mediation appointment is going ahead
next week.
Regarding payment... it was £60 (or £100 after 2 weeks) and
managed to pay on 12th day.
amount claimed: £175.76
court fee: £35
legal representative's costs: £50
total claim: £260.76
Regarding mediation appointment, should I mention this during a
call or ignore it?
Thanks

For the mediation call, the only requirement is for you "attend"
the call. It is not part of the judicial process and no judge is
involved. SO you DO NOT discuss anything!!!
This is what I advise you to say when you receive the call from
the mediator:
“Before I set out my position, please confirm from the
claimant’s side:[/I]
[indent][I]• the full name of the person attending for them;
• their role/position at their firm; and
• whether they hold written authority to negotiate and settle
today.[/indent]
Please relay that back to me before we continue.”
After the mediator calls back...
If identified and authority confirmed:
[indent]“Thank you. I’m content to proceed on that basis. My
settlement offer is £0, or I invite the claimant to discontinue
with no order as to costs.”[/indent]
If no/unclear authority:
[indent]“Please record that the claimant’s attendee has not
confirmed settlement authority. My position remains that
liability is denied and my offer is £0, subject to prompt
approval by an authorised person if they choose to
discontinue.”[/indent]
If the mediator probes your defence:
[indent]”[I]In what capacity are you asking that question? Are
you legally trained? If not, please refrain from offering
opinions. I will be reporting any attempt to do so as
inappropriate[/I].”
All you need to know is the name and the position of the person
acting for the claimant and report that back to us. It will be
over within minutes. Complete waste of time otherwise.

Hi,
After mediation call I received that in December, 15th, while I
was away. Base on some other threads/cases I just need to wait,
right?
I did one thing right as case was transferred to my closest town
:)
[quote]Notice of Transfer of Proceedings
[Details of the case, etc.]
To all parties
This claim has been transferred to the County Court at <TOWN>
for allocation. On receipt, the file will be referred
to a procedural judge who will allocate the claim to track and
give case management directions. Details of the
judge's decision will be sent to you in a notice of
allocation.[/quote]
P.S. Worth to mention that the mediator on the call said that
there is a long wait in courts. TBH, I wish I recorded the phone
call as he sounded like he wanted to convince me to settle.
It was between these lines "You might as well settle as you can
wait even 1 year before court case can be allocated". At the
time I wasn't impressed, however didn't question his competence
to decide what's better for me. I was more worrying to say that
my counter offer is £0.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm surprised I received that quickly.
N157-letter
HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/178OIkHhJCjgTLtjIPeNFFhmkwc3uBqB9/view?usp=sharing
Main question is about witness statement as I need to do this by
4th of February. Any suggestions or ready to use letters will be
welcomed.
Thanks

No.
As already advised, the case will be discontinued on or before
26 January, per point 5 in the letter you just posted.
Please post the notice of discontinuation when you get it.

Posters are reminded not to use wording that implies guaranteed
success (unless they are prepared to reimburse the OP for any
losses if their prediction turns out to be incorrect).
Based on previous experience, there is a strong chance this will
be discontinued as suggested above. The good news for you is
that the deadline for paying the fee is before the deadline for
the submission of witness statements.
If you haven't heard anything by Close of play on 26th, phone
the court first thing the following morning and ask if the
claimants have paid the fee.

Fair enough.
If for some reason the court fee is paid we can help with the WS
then.
