Shamelessly posting for traffic, sorry!
Has anyone gone to the small claims court recently? I think some rules changed in the last few years and am struggling to get much from Google.
I have to file papers by Monday which state whether I agree to mediation etc. The defendant has defended the claim. I've paid £35 so far, and I am worried that 1) I could have to pay an awful lot more if they won't do mediation/agree to anything and 2) that I can't decide to pull out at a later date, and that if I send these papers I'm in some way contracted to continue and can't pull out if it will go to court.
I've had a horrid week so forgot about these papers and don't know anyone who has done this before. The claim is under £300.
Has anyone got any experience of this that they can share?
