    Not going to happen

    Either make a very low offer, OR no offer, and let it continue for the time being

    No discussing the case at the irrelevant mediation stage

    Ps, you dont have a court date yet. !

    Obviously you don't take part in the Mediation call and you should already know from reading Smart claim threads that they always discontinue?

    Nobody pays a penny.

    If you didn't know this, read some Smart threads and the 8 steps in the Template Defence thread.

    Show us the NoD when you get it this Summer please.

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