    Ignore, they had thir chance at mediation,  their loss, so keep following the 8 steps and read the next stages in the 2nd post in the newbies sticky thread in announcements near the top of the forum 

    The end game will be near the Hearing fee deadline date in  few months time,  sometime this year , when your case will be added to the discontinuations thread by Umkomaas

    Update we have now been given a date for small claims and need to submit witness statements.

    Is there guidance on this element or is it a case of regurgitating the statements made in the defence statement or is that already considered by the court a part of the defence submission. Just want to be sure we get it right.

    thanks in advance

    See the 2nd post in the newbies sticky thread in announcements near the top of the forum

    Definitely NOT regurgitating the defence, but words and evidence that support the defence

    What's the deadline for DCB Legal to pay the Hearing fee?

    What's the deadline for WS and evidence?

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Hearing fee is due 23rd March.

    Deadline date for evidence is 2nd March.

    We also have an offer from them to pay £100 to avoid court so need to consider this against going to court and not a successful outcome/ loss of earnings (even if we win will probably still be out of pocket) to attend court etc. Then the stress of it all.

    What is the likely outcome cost wise if the ruling goes against?

    "We also have an offer from them to pay £100 to avoid court so need to consider this against going to court and not a successful outcome/ loss of earnings".

    No you don't, because they will discontinue.
