Advice on N181 DQ form

[Felix12]

Need help and advice please as a defendant in medical negligence claim I have now been instructed to complete an N181 Directions Questionaire form, deadline is 2 weeks to be completed and sent to the court. The claiimant’s solicitor made an offer to settle out of court in which I declined! I have been told I will win case in a trial but being the defendant and paying a lot of money to a barrister , who has now told me yes I will win my case in a trial but won’t get any money back(costs) where is the justice when winning a case? I have spent £9000 up to now
I have no option but to put another offer in to settle this claim out of court because I can no longer fund it to go to a trial
do I still need to complete N181 DQ form whilst waiting for a response from the claimant’s solicitors

Do you not have professional indemnity insurance?

The answer to your question is "yes".

If you are representing yourself, you should download and study the Judiciary's handbook for litigants in person - link in my signature.

Although I was a baited at tine of alleged incident it lapsed 3 weeks later! The claimant asked 3 months later did I gave insurance? I have thought it was renewed automatically
my insurance declined to represent me due to clause in policy hence reason I had to fund case myself
