My next dilemma is if to accept mediation now. My view is what harm can it do? If I don't come to a middle ground I can proceed to court??

We have no idea what your claim is about so it is difficult to advise. However, for parking charge claims we always advise against mediation. If you do decide to try mediation in your case, whatever the outcome, it will have no bearing on the claim if neither you or the defendant accept the mediators suggestions.

For now, having seen the defendants defence, you have to decide whether you wish to proceed with the claim. At some stage, you will have to submit your N180 DQ as will the defendant. After that, your case will be reviewed and allocated to a track and most likely to the a court local to the defendant and a hearing date assigned. Once the hearing date is assigned, both you and the defendant will be given a date by which you must submit your "bundle" which includes your witness statement and evidence to support your claim and the defendants WS and evidence.

Which stage are you currently at?

Absolutely bang on perfect thank you for that response. That has helped massively

I'm just at the stage now where I need to say if I will go with mediation or not. I will proceed with mediation as this whole claim is just a firm saying they will do something and then didn't follow through with it despite it being on email multiple times.

Thank you again
