  • Claimant has elected to mediate

    Good Morning all

    I just received a email from Glastone solicitors that act in behalf of Discrict Enforcement about three fines that i got in the private parking on the bulding where i'm actually resident.
    I sent to the court my defence two weeks ago (more or less) and the solicitors ask me for a Settlement/Mediation.
    Here below the txt of the Settlement:
    *"Under the Civil Procedure Rules parties should make every effort to settle their case. At this stage you should still think about whether you and the other party(ies) can settle your dispute without going to a hearing.
    You may seek to settle the claim either by direct discussion or negotiation with the other party or by mediation. If settlement is reached parties may enter into a binding agreement which can be enforced if the terms of the agreement were to be breached.
    Mediation is a way of resolving disputes without a court hearing, where the parties are assisted in resolving their dispute with the help of an impartial mediator. If the claim is settled at this stage the parties can avoid further court fees, costs and time involved in preparing and attending a hearing.
    You may use any mediation provider. However, HMCTS provide a free confidential Small Claims Mediation Service which is available to parties in most small claims cases which are for less than £10,000.
    Mediation is usually carried out by telephone in one hour time limited appointments convenient to the parties and is quicker than waiting for a court hearing before a judge. There is no obligation to use the Small Claims Mediation Service nor are you required to settle if you do. If you are unable to reach agreement with the other party at mediation, the claim will proceed to a small claims hearing.
    You can get more information about mediation from www.gov.uk
    If all parties agree, this case will be referred to the Small Claims Mediation Service. In any event the court may order the service to contact you to explore mediation."

    Anyone have this kind of experience?
