Pocster Posted June 25, 2018 Author Posted June 25, 2018 Mediation set for 10am Wednesday. Apparently I just talk to mediator who in turn talks to glazier . As far as I am aware the mediator has no diagrams or anything ? I have to “compromise “ so I’ve been told . How ? ; they’ve had all my money ?!!!! Obviously any concession I’ll consider but assume it will be a waste of time . Anyway , will wait and see ........
newhome Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 The compromise will probably be that they return some money. I assume you have ordered from elsewhere so an offer of a cost price deal won’t be of interest to you? It may help if you can find out what the mark up is on this type of window. Supplier should not be profiting from the mistake IMO.

Then they aren't out of pocket and the onus is on me to sell on the incorrect glass. They didn't seem to care!
newhome Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Well they might care more now that the courts are involved. Fingers crossed anyway.
Mr Punter Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Make sure you have a starting point for negotiation, such as a request for the supplier to fully refund you and (if you want to try it on a little) additional damages for delays and project prolongation. Stick to your original claim and then wait for the other side make a counter offer. Don't start with offering to re-purchase at cost, or you will have nowhere to go. The mediator does not look at the merits of the case or report to the court if mediation is not successful. 1
Pocster Posted June 29, 2018 Author Posted June 29, 2018 Mediation never happened. The supplier never returned their call apparently. So ! I’ve been told a judge decides if a mediation date is set again or go straight to court . Me thinks on the basis that drawings and emails need to be read ( mediation don’t seem to do this ) - then it will be a court case - once I pay the extra fee of course !
newhome Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 Well that’s progress of sorts I guess. Maybe the judge will look unfavourably on the company given that they have ignored attempts to mediate, especially as you showed willing. 1
Mr Punter Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 It could be that they are a fairly small outfit and will not be willing or able to represent or defend themselves, in which case straight to court. You will still need to prove your case with evidence to the satisfaction of the District Judge (or whatever they are now called). 1

Of course ! i guess all I need to do then is convince the judge of the ambiguity. So it could go either way . If he sees its open to interpretation then I would hope he would award me something.
jack Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 The point is, if the others don't turn up, you can show the judge that it's perfectly clear what was intended. I wouldn't be starting from the point of view of it being ambiguous.

Start from the angle of having been completely clear and transparent with what you required then let the window company argue their own case. 1
