Bristol Airport NTK - 104) Stopping to Pick-Up/Drop Off In a Restricted Zone

RRTechie

My mediation documentation detailed that the moderator will be liaising with each party separately which in turn led me to believe this is going to go nowhere unless the moderator is going to have multiple discussions or keep both parties on separate channels and flip between the two.

They will. But what do you care? You offer £0 and it will all be over in minutes.

RRTechie

Yep, no compromises from me...in fact the amount of time I have spent on all this I'm a mind to push heavily for compensation!

No such thing unless you counterclaimed.

You know what happens & what to say because there are already 2 links about it in the first 12 steps in the Template Defence thread.

That's exactly what will happen.

Have now received the compulsory mediation call appointment...25/11.

What is a mediation call appointment, please?

On your own thread (which is the place to ask questions) you state that you have read the NEWBIE sticky; maybe a second reading is in order as all questions are answered there.

An appointment where both parties join a conference call with an appointed mediator, the mediator will try to get both sides to settle, to avoid the court hearingstage , the advice for defendants is generally not to agree to any settlement, other than drop hands and both sides withdraw and walk away ( rarely is that going to happen. )

Attendings mediation is now a compulsory stage for recent claims that started in june 2024 or later, the changes date was late May 

Thanks @Gr1pr, for that clear explanation. I'll be very interested to hear how that turns out. I assume the court appoints the mediator?  Has anyone on the forum experienced such a call.  Are there any documented rules available about how it proceeds, etc? If so, where would I find them?

Thanks @Le_Kirk.  I'm trying my hardest to work my way through this enormous wealth of helpful advice, and to stick to the complex protocol.  I'll consider myself reprimanded and go back to my homework.

Quite a few people have been through it and reported on it in other recent cases

No idea about rules etc, but apparently it goes the way it was explained earlier, but generally the defendant doesn't offer anything, apart from £0.00, so each side usually sticks to their guns and no settlement is agreed, end of call, carry on towards a hearing 

The more you read, the more you learn on here, and mediation has been in play for several months since they changed it back in May 

I would suggest that you keep an eye on this thread and see what the feedback is from the OP, seeing as it could be the same for your case
