    Could I please ask on point 4 A1 no to mediation and reasons you stated, if you know you won’t win and are willing to negotiate to a lower amount yet they said no to mediation, and don’t want an oral court case,
    Is it worth my saying yes to it on my form?

    Sorry I’ve just read all this and it’s very helpful. However He doesnt want to go to court and just wants papers so do I still fill in the DQ online? Not the form they sent? Could I suggest mediation even though they don’t want to on their DQ? I know He won’t win so was just hoping to get the amount reduced now really, what do you think please?

    Excellent write up. I am knocking up the defence now. Quick question... I intend to speak on behalf of my wife (defendant) as a Lay Rep. Is it worth mentioning in the defence that she intends to remain silent and have me speak on her behalf?

    What is the email address that defences can be sent to? I've left it too late for posting and emailing is easier.

    Why are you posting questions here? Have you read the last 3 posts? Have you read the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, post #2 about court procedures? Do you have your own thread? If so, please post there.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Hi please help,

    I’ve missed the deadline to file a defence after acknowledgment of service. Am I pretty screwed now?
