Free Traffic Legal Advice

I don’t know what an X750 form is. Did you mean X740? Either way, it is not really that important.

The mediation is not part of the judicial process. There is no judge or solicitors involved. The only requirement is to “attend” the call. Our advice is that whoever “attends” the call offers £0 and it will be over within minutes.

It is a complete waste of time but as long as the call was “attended” nothing else matters. You could “attend” the call as your wife’s lay rep and offer £0.

Whilst it is extremely unlikely that this will ever get to a hearing in front of a judge because it will be discontinued before the trial fee has to be paid by the claimant, if it were to get that far, then you could act as your partners lay rep.

Both of you would have to attend the hearing but you can act on their behalf as long as you seee the usher before you go in and tell them to let the judge know. Any resistance and you flash a copy of The Lay Representatives (Rights of Audience) Order 1999 at them.

My money is on a discontinuation some time next year after the case has been transferred to your local court.

... post up later today.

To be clear, the defendant is my daughter.

Is your daughter over 18?

There is no need to give anything more about the defence other than to say that the claim is denied. End of. Just repeat what you put in your DQ (hopefully): "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."

As I mentioned, the mediation is not part of the judicial process. The mediator is not a judge or a solicitor and cannot make any "judgment" on whether they think the claim has merit or not, even though many of them do give an opinion, which is worthless.

Do not read too much into this part of the process.

Even a 14 year old could take the mediation call and simply say that they are only prepared to offer £0 and will not entertain anything else.

Just pretend to be her. No one is going to know and it is not going to make a difference.

I'm her dad, so impersonating her might be a tall ask. Any road, EX750 here:

Can you imagine someone querying why you have a deep voice? The purpose of the call, not on personal attributes like voice are what matter.

If they were to suggest your voice doesn't align with societal expectations for your gender, just say you feel uncomfortable because their query suggests implicit bias about gender and voice. Go all "woke" on them.

Just ignore them. They will eventually discontinue.
