Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi could you help point us to something please. We have searched and its a mind field and impossible for someone like us to even work out.

We are at a loss with next steps. The help prior to this has been very helpful with guidance and information supplied.

Thanks

The plot thickens

We now have mediation next month

Whats the general information we need to be aware of. I found the below information on here is this still the case.

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.

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:

• the full name of the person attending for them;
• their role/position at their legal representative’s firm; and
• whether they hold written authority to negotiate and settle today.

Please relay that back to me before we continue.”

After the mediator calls back...

If identified and authority confirmed:

“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.”

If no/unclear authority:

“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 solicitor if they choose to discontinue.”

If the mediator probes your defence:

”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.”

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.

We have the N180 come through the post.

What do we do now, do will fill this in and are they actually going to goto court now ?

We didnt think they would go this far.

Hope you can advise

We do not plan on talking to them or paying any money to them dont worry about that lol.

We are guessing they are calling to try and get us to pay and not goto court. This is my feeling.

Hi Again

We have had this email, what should we do now with this.

One other question, they have sent photos of the signage at the location with the last email they sent. Does this change anything in the reply to send them. Thank you again for all your help.
