Any assistance on the way the defence needs to be drafted is greatly appreciated.

Hi All,

Does anyone think that there is a chance of winning this?

Also, if it goes to court would I (third party) be allowed to attend and speak or would that be limited to the two employees of the business? It's my understanding that in cases of companies even if they are tiny the court expects a solicitor to be hired but is that mandatory as a defendant?

Any chance we can see the original PCN please?

There could well be no path to liability.

Unfortunately they threw the original away. I've been informed that they wouldn't need to provide it as the keeper is a business.

Hi All,

I assisted the defendant with their defence but the claimant/lawyers still want to go ahead to trial but have offered mediation in their latest correspondence?

Would it be worth going down the mediation route given that the claimant did make a purchase at the shop and can provide proof of this.


If you have submitted a N180 form, then read it again, you will see that mediation is a mandatory part of the process. Usual advice is to offer £0 to settle and that’s it. Search the forum for “mediation”.

Thank you for that. I will look through the forum.

Does anyone know the likelihood that a matter like this will actually go to court?

Given the defendant is a company will I be able to assist them in court? I saw on the forum that the The Lay Representatives (Rights of Audience) Order 1999 was mentioned but I am not sure if it applies to companies.
