Ah so I should say that to mediator if they probe my defense. Think that makes more sense. But what if they say they are qualified to probe my defence.

Thanks
Dave

It's just bog standard boilerplate stuff. You will receive a letter from DCB Legal confirming that their client has received a copy of your defence and their client intends to proceed. They will include a copy of their N180 Directions Questionnaire which you just file away.

Eventually you will receive your own N180 DQ and you will follow the instructions below on filling it in and who and how to send it. Eventually you will receive a letter telling you about your telephone mediation appointment which is just a formality and is nit part of the judicial process. You will simply offer £0 and it will be over in minutes.

Having received your own N180 (make sure it is not simply a copy of the claimants N180), do not use the paper form. Ignore all the other forms that came with it. you can discard those. Download your own here and fill it in on your computer. You sign it by simply typing your full name in the signature box.

Here are the answers to some of the less obvious questions:

• The name of the court is "Civil National Business Centre".

• To be completed by "Your full name" and you are the "Defendant".

• C1: "YES"

• D1: "NO". Reason: "I wish to question the Claimant about their evidence at a hearing in person and to expose omissions and any misleading or incorrect evidence or assertions.
Given the Claimant is a firm who complete cut & paste parking case paperwork for a living, having this case heard solely on papers would appear to put the Claimant at an unfair advantage, especially as they would no doubt prefer the Defendant not to have the opportunity to expose the issues in the Claimants template submissions or speak as the only true witness to events in question.."

• F1: Whichever is your nearest county court. Use this to find it: https://www.find-court-tribunal.service.gov.uk/search-option

• F3: "1".

• Sign the form by simply typing your full name for the signature.

When you have completed the form, attach it to a single email addressed to both dq.cnbc@justice.gov.uk and info@dcblegal.co.uk and CC in yourself. Make sure that the claim number is in the subject field of the email.

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.
