Have a look around the forum, there's plenty of examples. I quoted one such:

Mediation is not part of the judicial process. There is no judge or solicitors involved.  The only compulsory element is to "attend" the mediation phone call.

Mediation is not the place to argue the legal merits of the case. Simply decline to discuss details – The claimant has your defence. The mediator is not legally trained and must not offer an opinion on the merits of yours or the claimant position. If they do, you enquire as to what their legal qualification is for their opinion and you inform them that you will be raising a formal complaint about their conduct.

Your position is that the claim is without merit, and your offer is £0. Once it’s clear there is no agreement, the mediation should quickly conclude. The case will then proceed to allocation.

Thanks Mushtek

Sure. Thank you so much jfollows. Will do. What is the next step, would it be a case of waiting for the court hearing date ?

So I send this email and wait to hear from either moor legal or court  regarding further actions?

Recieved this reply via email regarding my claim. I would be gratefull on any advice regarding the next steps to take as the email does not give any timeline or details next steps.
TIA

Dear 
Re: 
 
Our Client: UKCPS ltd
 
 
Our Ref: xxxx
 
 
Claim Number: xxxx
We write in relation to the above matter.
 
Your Defence
 
We have reviewed your Defence and respond as follows: -
 
The Claimant does not accept the Defendant’s assertion that the claim discloses no cause of action. The claim is founded in contract, alternatively in statutory keeper liability pursuant to Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012.
The Defence raises technical objections concerning the level of detail in the Particulars of Claim. The Claimant notes that no substantive denial of the parking event, the existence of signage, or the incurrence of the parking charge is advanced. The Defendant has therefore suffered no prejudice and clearly understands the nature of the claim.
In any event, and without admission that the Particulars of Claim are deficient, the Claimant confirms that it will rely upon the following matters, which can be fully particularised if required:
    • A valid contract was formed by clear and prominent signage at the relevant site on the material date.
    • The signage set out the applicable terms and conditions, including the parking charge payable upon breach.
    • The vehicle was parked at xxxxxxxxxxxx in breach of those terms, namely parked out of marked bay.
    • The Defendant is liable as the driver of the vehicle, or alternatively as the registered keeper under Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012.
    • The sum claimed comprises the parking charge and statutory interest pursuant to section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984.
The Defendant’s reliance on Civil Enforcement Ltd v Chan and CPMS Ltd v Akande is noted. Those decisions are non-binding, fact-specific County Court authorities and do not establish a general principle that amendment should be refused where a claim is capable of being properly particularised.
The Claimant remains confident that the claim has merit and will be determined in its favour. However, the Claimant remains willing to deal with any genuine procedural concerns in a proportionate manner in accordance with the overriding objective.

In view of the above, our Client is satisfied that you are liable for the full amount of the Claim, and we urge you to make payment as soon as possible.
Settlement Proposal
Our Client remains open to settling the matter without the need for the Claim to progress further, and as such proposes the following settlement options:
£146.30 via one lump sum payment payable within the next 7 days; or
£10.00 via 14 monthly payments with the first payment due within the next 7 days.
How to pay
There is still time to make payment to avoid the need for a Court hearing. You can do so in any of the following ways: -
    • You can call us on 0330 828 5850 to make the relevant payment arrangements. You will need you customer reference number - xxxx; or
    • You can make payment via bank transfer to the following account -
Account holder name: Moorside Legal Services Limited
Bank name: xxx
Sort code: xxxx
Account number: xxxx
If you choose to make payment, via bank transfer you must use the following reference as your payment reference xxxx  to ensure we can quickly allocate the payment to your matter. If you do not, we may not be able to allocate the payment to your matter
If you choose to make regular card payments to us these will be made under a Continuous Payment Authority ('CPA'). This authorises us to take the agreed amount on a regular basis. CPAs can be set up weekly, fortnightly, or monthly. If we are unable to take your payment, we will attempt to take the payment later that day. If that fails, we will reattempt the next working day.
 
If you wish to provide an alternative payment proposal, please contact us within 7 days of receipt of this email.
If the Claim is not settled
 
We hope this matter can be settled without further Court action, however if we are not able to reach a settlement, please be aware that our Client intends to proceed with the Claim.
 
If the Claim proceeds, the Court will ask both Parties to file and serve a Directions Questionnaire, therefore we attach a copy of our Client’s completed Directions Questionnaire and confirm the same has been filed with the Court.
Email Service
As you provided this email address when you defended the Claim, we intend to use it to serve documents on you throughout these proceedings and will do so in PDF format. We will assume you agree to this course of action unless you tell us otherwise within 7 days. In accordance with Practice Direction 6A, if there are any limitations to your agreement to accept service by such means, please let us know within 7 days.
Subject to your agreement, we will also agree to accept email service to litigationteam@moorsidelegal.co.uk.
You may wish to seek independent legal advice.
Yours sincerely

Thank you b789, I have submitted the defence today.
Just wondering how to deal with mediation phone calls. Is there anything I need to be prepared for . TIA

Thank you so much for b789 for the detailed draft.
Just wondering what happens next once this is submitted. Do I need to appear in the court , etc which I'm a bit apprehensive about.  Apologies as I have never dealt with such things before, so completely unsure.
Also should I send this draft straight away or should it be sent on a certain date ?
Thanks in advance
