    What is this about?  The thread title is meaningless and your opening post is lacking in any context/background. 
    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.

    I posted it for you due to your difficulties

    You do realise that you can use any phone number on the day ?  So travel to somewhere with a landline number and borrow it

    Unfortunately if the court decides your case should go to a dispute resolution hearing, there is nothing you can do but comply.

    It's supposed to save the time and cost of a full hearing, but since you want to pay nowt, and the PPC wants their kilo of flesh, ne'er the twain shall meet. It is a pointless exercise.

    You should expect the judge to tell you that you have little or no chance of winning, because they won't be experienced enough to know any better.
    Ignore her/him and say you will let the court decide at a full hearing.

    We have seen many threads where the judge, or whoever chairs these dispute hearings has told the defendant they have no chance, then they go on to win their case.

    Offer a drop hands. At least you will walk away without paying the claim.

     I have had a Notice of Allocation that states 'Before the claim is listed for hearing,the judge has ordered that a preliminary hearing should take place '  and...'you will receive a BT Meetme call between  9am and 11am '.
    Is there anyway l can get out of this, for one after reading how badly the original poster came out in theirs on another thread , but also because l/my hubby have awful signal problems in my home and area and his workplace is a building site out in the sticks so no better(even if it was practical to take the call at work  )   I constantly get cut off in calls or they break up /crackle regularly. I literally have to stand at bottom of my garden or perch on a window ledge at front of house to have any chance of staying connected and even then if l move my head off it goes.  I recently lost an NHS case l am sure at least in part due to the constant failure of the conference call which was very distracting and which l wish hadn't agreed to.. Not to mention he will lose two days (self employed)at work if 'attends' this as well as the main court hearing later on.
    I've followed this forum all the way through all the different stages to the letter, but now feel like throwing in the towel and just making them (Gladstones for ES Parking) an offer of one half days net pay being around £60 as it just seems be getting more and more complicated and as l say anything done by phone here is a nightmare.
