G24 - Just had my mediation call.

Simple, you phone the civil court. !

I still don't think you are reading the WS deadline properly.

It's never just a week before a hearing. The Order spells out the parties' deadlines, usually in para 7 (or thereabouts) on page 2.

Sometimes there is a date for submission of witness statement etc OR there is "not less than 14 days before hearing date" AND sometimes there is another date by which someone (usually the claimant) has to supply a full bundle to the court and the deadline for that can be 5 days. As @Coupon-mad writes, carefully read the Notice of Allocation.

Ah yes! I think I have found it under "The following Directions apply to this claim'

6) Each party must deliver to the other party and to the court office copies of all documents on which that party intends to rely at the hearing, no later than fourteen days before the hearing.

So I still wait to see if G24 pays the trial fee by 4pm on the 28th May?

Can i just say a big thank you to all, taking the time to reply and give the guidance. very much appreciated!!

Just wanted to update and go full circle to my case.

The deadline was 28th May 2026 - I called the court today to check the status and was told G24 filled a notice of discontinuation. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

Another success and testament to info available on this forum.

Thank you to everyone made the info available.

I'm off for a beer !!

Please check your junk emails for the NoD from DCB Legal. We need to see it to count your success.

If it's not there, email DCB Legal right now asking for a copy of it this week, or you'll write to the court for your costs.

Then pleeeease show us the NoD!

When I called the court - I also emailed them (the court) to ask for clarity on my case they have responded and confirmed the case has been discontinued and going no further. Does that count? Or do I have to poke the bear and squeeze more breath out of them?

It needs written confirmation from the court order from DCB LEGAL, so ideally a redacted picture of the N279 discontinuation document which DCB LEGAL usually send out using email

Coupon-mad

Threaten DCB Legal with claiming your costs from the court if they fail to email you a copy of their supposed discontinuance within 7 days because you are still preparing for the hearing.
