Free Traffic Legal Advice

Good morning, just had my mediation call. Outline below what was said -

On request (after putting me on hold briefly) the mediator gave me a full name, role of "mediations associate" and confirmed they they hold written authority to negotiate and settle today.

Claimant made a settlement offer of £180. My counter offer was nil and I confirmed that I would not consider any other settlement offer.

Mediator went away again and then came back and confirmed that the claimant would not discontinue at this mediation meeting.

That was it!

Do I need to do anything else or just wait for them to discontinue?

Thanks so much for all the help and advice.

Best wishes

You are many months away from the discontinuation. You will next receive a Notice of Transfer of Proceedings to your local county court and then a Notice of Allocation with a hearing date and a deadline for the claimant to pay the £27 trial fee. That will be 4 weeks before the heating date. Just before that date, you will receive an N279 Notice of Discontinuance. Come back and show that to us when you receive it.

Gosh this is a long process. So far so good then, thank you!

Hello and happy new year everyone! Thank you for all of the help!

We have now had a Notice of Transfer of Proceedings to your local county court and a Notice of Allocation with a hearing date (4 March 2026) and a deadline for the claimant to pay the £27 trial fee (4 February 2026). Do we need to post redacted versions of those or are we just now waiting for the N279 Notice of Discontinuance? 🤞🤞🤞

All best wishes.
