    Nothing needs to be done on MCOL except the AoS. You need to decide whether to do it or not. As I said, it takes less than ten minutes.

    No evidence gets sent at this stage. The time for evidence is 'some months' away and that will be to your local court - if it gets that far. Nothing gets filed with a defence.
  • CCBC DQ received.
    Gladstones are offering mediation while informing me of an intention to proceed with claim.

    I cant seem to see any response demands or deadlines.

    Am i correct in thinking this isn't something im obliged to respond to?

    should i attempt to mediate if my desire is to defend this in court.

    My rental agreement states nothing of parking and having read the newbie thread there is an interesting precedent set by a judge in once case of residential parking for renters where the lease was the overriding document

    thanks for any help

    Mediation is a waste of time. Look at the link provided by KeithP above. That has a complete walkthrough of the court process and paperwork in it.

    I had hoped that items 7 and 8 on the list in post #9 would've gone some way to answering those questions.

    Re-read it.

    The deadlines are there.
  • The covering letter states no timescale.
    it simply confirms their intention to proceed while offering mediation.
    we act for.. please find....should you agreee to mediation please inform the court.

    On the actual DQ all i can see is..

    "you should note the date by which this questionnaire must be returned and the name of the court it should be returned to since this may be different from the court where the proceedings were issued"

    once you have completed this form please return to the adress on the form N149A
