Thanks, if that's what the last letter means. It was brief and had a no idea what it was for.
When the court write what should I expect?
I've followed the process set out in this thread and I'm hoping it'll be dismissed but again I don't know the likelihood of that.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
TW

Hi,
I've just received my call off the mediator, Samantha Cotterill. I asked and she said she had the authority to negotiate and settle.
She then said the/their settlement offer without me accepting any liability was £240. It was also clear that due to the process I've been through (following the guidance here) she had very little detail on the circumstances prior to today, before saying the 'floor is yours'.
Once clarifying that she meant it was for me to explain from my position, I said my position hasn't changed, I accept no liability and my offer is zero.
She then mentioned the possibility of a CCJ and I asked whether that would only be relevant if I refused to pay any court fees should I lose. She said that depends on the judge when assessing my response time, given the alleged offence was in 2023. I replied saying that although it's dated 2023 it was far more recent than that I started receiving correspondence and that I've had the opportunity to defend the claim, including the wait for today's call of around two months.
We finished by me stating that my position on the matter hasn't changed and I offered no further information. All-in-all we were on the phone less than 5 minutes.
What should I expect next, please?
Thanks in advance,
TW

Hi,
I've received the linked email regarding the mediation call:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PY0lgR6QinOcydVeUanW357_MVZBiNnm/view?usp=drivesdk
I'll reply to advise I'll take the call myself and follow the advice already given in this thread.
Is there anything else I need to factor in?
Thanks in advance,
TW

Hi,
A Notice of Proposed Allocation to the Small Claim Track had arrived in the post and I've filled out the PDF version of the N180 form using the guide you provided above.
All seems pretty straight forward.
What should I expect next?
Many thanks,
TW

Thank you for your last message.
All this seems clear:
- The email and THEIR N180 DQ is for my records only
- I respond using the completed downloaded version of MY N180 DQ when requested
The only thing I'm unclear about is "Just keep checking your MCOL history and when it show that your N180 Directions Questionnaire has been sent."
Will a new item show up in 'Claim History' when logging into MCOL showing that MY N180 NQ has been issued and therefore I should expect it? I just want to check if there's something I need to proactively look out for so I don't miss it.
Thanks again!

I thought I replied to your last message earlier so apologies if it doubles up at some point.
Thanks for your advice and overview of timescales. I'll follow up again in due course.

Thank you for your most recent response.
I’ve set aside time this morning to go through everything. By referring to ‘you’ or 'your' I just mean whoever messaged me at the time.
In a previous post you advised about correspondence from DCB Legal: “Yes, I suggest you ignore. Even if the next step is a court claim - please post if it is - it won’t come to anything if you stay the course.”
I was then advised “No response needed. Just wait for the N1SDT Claim Form pack to arrive in the post.”
This is the stage I’m now at with the claim form from HM Courts & Tribunals Service.
For “the signature of whoever signed it” that I missed last time, I’ve checked again and can see David John Croot has signed the claim form. Underneath it states: Claimants Legal Representative as defined by CPR 2.3(1).
In your last response it advised me to submit an AoS if I need extra time to prepare my defence, then goes on to offer the 122-line wording for the defence. Given the deference wording is offered I’m unsure of the benefit of the AoS, unless there are more steps to the defence process than I’m aware of.
As stated, I can prove I was in the tile shop that day with a time stamped photo taken inside the store and I left a Google review for them around this time showing I was a shopper. I’m unsure if this is relevant or would be needed as a specific part of a defence for my case should their claim be pursued further.
I also noticed that the MCOL guide linked in the thread was geared towards submitting an AoS rather than a defence but I found the process of doing this reasonably self explanatory. This is now submitted using the 122-line wording you provided, with a copy of the evidence form here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QQ5n11z9mKR7KMtcUFhp6oZkMBu1bhG7?usp=drive_link
For the next steps it seems I need to await a response, then either:
- The case will be dropped
- The case will be progress and I’ll need to provide a witness statement
Please let me know if the above is correct and if I’ve missed anything.
Thanks again!
