Re: Hoist portfolio county court claim help!

Sorry just a quick question do I tick yes to mediation as haven't been given any documents/ enough information in order to negotiate?

[MIKE770]

Re: Hoist portfolio county court claim help!

yes to mediation shows willing =, when mediation ring they ask have you all the documentation to proceed mediation, no documentation means = they will say not suitable to mediation and pass back to court process

[VanessaL15]

Re: Hoist portfolio county court claim help!

Ok thanks.

Re: Hoist portfolio county court claim help!

Hi, I sent my DQ to the court agreeing to mediation. Have today received a copy of Hoist Portfolio's DQ to the court from Howard Cohen. I'm assuming that the mediation service will contact me obviously mediation will not be possible as lack of documents. Just wondering what happens next, will they take me to court?

[MIKE770]

Re: Hoist portfolio county court claim help!

mediation will ask if you have the documents etc needed - you say no then they will state not suitable for mediation - then pass back to the court for next stage, the case continues to next requirement by the court

[VanessaL15]

Re: Hoist portfolio county court claim help!

sorry to if this sounds stupid but what is the next stage. The court hearing?

[MIKE770]

Re: Hoist portfolio county court claim help!

no a few more court requirements/proceedure to go yet! court will require witness statements etc from you and the other side, depends what the other side come up with if anything as to next stage, every case can be different in as much that a claimant can not furnish required documents etc etc and then not action court request - then after a deadline the case would be stayed ( parked up) and a fee from the claimant to unstay it if ever they wanted to go a head, this stage is a game of who breaks first? so no panic then help on here will get you thru any follow up requirements you post on here!

[VanessaL15]

Re: Hoist portfolio county court claim help!

Thanks Mike! Just a case of waiting and seeing what they come up with next then. Just another quick question on the DQ I completed in witnesses section I put 1 for witnesses as it said including yourself I assumed I would be giving evidence on behalf of myself should I have put this?

[MIKE770]

Re: Hoist portfolio county court claim help!

yes correct

[VanessaL15]

Re: Hoist portfolio county court claim help!

Oh good just wanted to check as on the DQ sent by Hoist they have put none in the witnesses section does this mean they won't be attending court?

[MIKE770]

Re: Hoist portfolio county court claim help!

at this stage would not be possibly the case, as they could send someone on the day if they intended to continue

[VanessaL15]

Re: Hoist portfolio county court claim help!

Ah I see thanks for clarification on that Mike.

Hi Vanessa

Just because you do not have the documents does not mean you can not engage in mediation. If you wished, and it is if you wished, you could use it to negotiate a sizeable reduction on the bill (possibly)

It is your call but are they likely do you think to stump up the agreement
