    And they have lied that the Defendant can be held liable as keeper. Horizon didn't use the POFA schedule 4 (keeper liability law) in 2024. And Gatwick Airport is subject to byelaws so it is specifically not 'relevant land' as set by the law."

    Mediation call tomorrow.

    As far as I'm aware I should say no to any deal, then offer £5, Then £10, going up to £20 maximum.

    Does that sound correct in 2026?

    I only received the text reminder today. Haven't seen the email.

    Should I worry that I've missed other correspondence or should everything be coming through my letter box from now onward?

    Thanks all!

    You seem to understand the situation, nothing to worry about

    The mediator called. I was asked to present my case but I didn’t think it was a good idea over the phone during a mediation session so I said I’d prefer to put my case forward in court if it came to it. I wasn’t really prepared for this part of the convo. I think I did the right thing. I didn’t think it right to get into the weeds with these types of people or try to appeal to their likely non existent empathy by presenting a case that they could then prepare for should we end up before a judge.

    As well as the template on the forum sent over, I do have a compelling story for any judge involving helping my disabled mother in law.

    After I explained that I didn’t think it right to present a case in the mediation the conversation (or rather the several pick ups of the phone when they called back) went like this:

    They wanted £255.

    I offered £5

    They offered £215 final offer.

    I offered £20 final offer.

    They rejected and so it’s court or a last minute pull out by them, like last time I would assume.

    How is my experience with the mediation compared with the majority of experiences?

    Exactly the same - an irrelevant waste of time - and you played a blinder!
