Alternative dispute resolution

Dekota

Hi there,

A claimant is claiming a sum of money against me which I've always agreed that I am partly liable for however he is also including court costs in his claim. Now the thing is the claimant didn't resort to any ADRs before making the claim, i.e. no letter before court action/mediation. Had he have made an effort to communicate with me, I'd probably have opted for settling it outside court anyway so can I argue that I shouldnt be liable for court costs because claimant could have mitigated these costs had he have approached me prior to going to court?

thanks :j

You can bring up the no letter before court action, and the caught wont like it so much. If its on MCOL though its through the bulk processing .

Thanks, does anybody know how I can dispute the amount the claimant is claiming - what forms can I fill in to challenge amount claimed?

thanks
