Hi, I have followed the Newbies thread to the best of my knowledge and have now got to the stage where I am somewhat bamboozled, probably because of a mixture of litigation jargon and the potential court appearance looming (albiet miniscule chance based on other comments in this forum).

PCN - Scotland
I've read the templates and FAQs, so this is more of a question about those than suggesting my case is at all unusual.
