RE: Court case update - mediation conference 21 Sept3 Mar 2021 08:06
@Mer400 - If theyre negotiating / corresponding behind the scenes already which they will be, then theyre not technically waiting. Sept is just when each party sets out their position, requests evidence, documentation etc and a plan for the body of evidence etc etc. Closer to that date the closer each party is to having to pay for all this work and prep which is very costly and no guarantee who wins and the cost. Not the same but in principle the process is similar as with an employment tribunal for discrimination. My last client recieved the settlement figure she wanted the day before the mediation conference which was 2.5x the offer we had been stuck at for months. All IMHO ofcourse
