As you say, the NEWBIES thread suggests avoid mediation.
I can see no reason to disagree with that, but clearly you can.
You must do what you think best.

I genuinely don't know what to do for the best.

Even though the NEWBIES thread shows you that Mediation = bullying you to settle?

We don't recommend any Defendant ever puts themselves through it. To be clear, the answer to your question is a firm NO.

I suppose I was hoping my leverage in mediation would be in using the fact they've lied about already taking me to court and winning. A sort of, I won't take it any further if this is dropped, so to speak .
But I guess that wouldn't work either.

Nope it wouldn't!

But they haven't "lied". They've made a threat with an assumed outcome. Nothing unexpected there. You seem to be "resisting" the advice about saying no to mediation.

Unlikely the mediator would entertain that angle. They are there to negotiate an agreed financial resolution. They are not a Judge.

No. I'm not resisting the advice I assure you. I just wanted to explain why the thought of using it was in my head.
I absolutely take every piece of advice offered on here, to heart, and will continue to do so.

Hi again. Well, the N180 DQ finally arrived, and I'm just filling it in using the newbies thread information (thank you)....

However, and apologies in advance if I've somehow missed it, but what is the best way to answer D1 'Suitability for determination without hearing'

Yes that's it. I've already answered E5.

Is the telephone hearings info on the newbies thread as well?

Also, is there a difference between county court and a magistrate court?

I have the latter just fifteen minutes drive away (retford, but county is a little further (Mansfield)

KeithP

Information about hearings is in the second lost of the NEWBIES thread.

Magistrates Court is for criminal cases.
County Court is for Civil cases and is the one you need.

I'm really sorry, but I can't seem to locate any thread relating to D1 Suitability etc.

And thank you for the information on the courts
