Free Traffic Legal Advice

I'm awfully sorry but I don't know how to do this. I have even asked a colleague to help out to "overlay a text box with the font you advised". I don't have membership for the acrobat pdf. My computer literacy is basic.

Would it be easier if I print it off, hand write it then scan it and upload and send it when and if the time comes?

Also I completed the E section with giving my details phone number and email. I ticked the rest of the boxes in E Section all as NO.

I've also noticed this on the MCOL account. What does this mean?https://ibb.co/qYNXYd1k

Thank you for the reply. I'll put that text in instead:

"The Defendant opposes the Claimant’s request for special directions, and requests that the case be listed for an oral hearing at the defendant’s home court, pursuant to CPR 26.2A(3)"

I attached a copy of the mcol screenshot in my previous post showing that the claimant filed a DQ but driver has not received anything as yet on the website nor in the post.

Is this the stage where driver EMAILS their N180 to the claimant? If so, would that be on the MCOL website or who do I email it to? Smart parking or dcbl...?

UPDATE!

Driver has received an email from HM Courts & Tribunals Service which have arranged a "Telephone Mediation Appointment" next month; "FORM EX750". What should the driver do or say to defend their case and not be pressured to pay?

This is what they are saying:

1- Introduction from the mediator

The mediator will introduce themselves and check that you have read and understood the mediation process.

2- Explaining your position

You will need to briefly explain your claim or defence to the mediator. You should prepare for yourself a brief summary of the main points.

3- Negotiating options

You’re attending mediation with a view to settling your case. This means negotiating to overcome disputed issues. The mediator is neutral and helps each party to explore options and discuss risks. Mediation works when you’re willing to listen to what the other party has to say, negotiate, and agree a settlement.

4- Building agreement

Settlement can be in many different forms, for example, payment, goods, or work. Both parties must agree on the outcome and feel they have reached an acceptable resolution.

5- Reaching a settlement

The mediator will read the terms of the settlement and confirm agreement with each party. Once agreed, the settlement is legally binding and cannot be changed. A copy of the mediation settlement is sent to both parties and placed on the court file.

6- Confidentiality

All mediation appointments are confidential. An agreed settlement includes a standard confidentiality clause.

· Ending the mediation process

The mediator can end the mediation if, at any time:

· either party breaches the terms on which they agreed to mediation

· there is no prospect that the mediation will end in settlement.

· the mediator deems it inappropriate to continue in the case that one or both parties are vulnerable users.

· either party asks to end mediation

Thank you for the reply but this forum is a minefield for me and I am really overwhelmed with all the jargon and navigation. Can someone please send me what dialogue I should write in that form? I read something regarding mediation but it was directed further down the line. I just need to know what I am supposed to have prepared in writing in front of me on the day I get the call from mediation? What the outcomes can be and what to say in the event of each outcome please?
