Let the battle commence

[sapnker]

A well known central heating firm botched up my parents gas central heating installation. I had to get involved. The situation now is that the company has taken my mother to count court but the firm has named me as a defendant as well! I emailed their solicitor demanding my name be removed as a defendant but got no reply. My mother is now counter claiming from them. I fled my defence putting them to strict burden of proof as I have never entered into any contractual agreement with whatsover. The solicitors have just confirmed that they will still be pursuing me as a defendant! They are just bullies like what they tried to do with my mother and i can only assume that me being named as a defendant is some sort of weird revenge against me for helping my mother. So now I am not going to sit back and let them them dish it out to me,doing I intend to go on the offensive against them and I am prepared to pay for the privlege of doing so. I have already decided that I am not going to get involved in mediation with them as why the hell should I be even consulting with them as I should not be a defendant in the first place. I want to claim damages from them for what to me is clearly an abuse of court process and a complete waste of my time .So any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. I need specific advice so that I can fill a claim in online. let the battle commence.
