 Hi All
twelve months ago I was accused of scratching some glass
which I did not but letters have been going back and forth for months, finally she  said she was taking me to court I said fair enough as I new I was in the right,
did not go through my insurance as the excess was a lot more than what she wanted so go to court was my attitude,
in the end we go to mediation and settle out of court for a lot less than she wanted but I just wanted it gone it cost her a lot of money to go to court but at least it is over but a warning to others

mrs morgan from penn in Wolverhampton whatch out shes a liar don't take her on

You can get in trouble for things like this. Be careful what you say about people..

Surely if she is accusing you then the onus is on her to prove you did it. If she cant, then there is no case, so i dont see why you would need to pay anything, or go to mediation ???

As for your comments about the lady in question, not wise at all (regardless of whether or not they are true). If she gets to find out about them, you will be back in court again, on slander charges. And this time, there is ample proof in her favour.

She only needs to prove that he worked at the window and the window is damaged to go to mediation.
Its never cut and dry so its better to settle if you can.
If you go to court and lose (and it can happen) then you could be hit with a massive bill.

This is a private forum. She will not find out what he has written unless someone tells her, she joins, and then trawls through the posts to find it.

Everyday this forum slips further from God.  :'(

mediation is voluntary, and the first rule of law is He who claims, must prove

But she could, not very likely, but certainly not impossible!.

Sean, surely there is more to it than simply proving he cleaned the windows and now they are scratched?, a bird could do that if it crashed into the window, kids throwing things, etc. Sounds very unfair if she does not have to prove it was the windy who scratched them!.
