@Stuart, that went exactly as expected. You did the right thing by sticking to £0. Their £135 offer was simply an attempt to obtain a settlement without having to test the claim properly.
Mediation is now finished and has no bearing on the merits of the case. No adverse inference arises simply because no settlement was reached.
The next step is for the case to be transferred to your local County Court. From that point onward, directions and further correspondence will come from the court handling the case, not through MCOL.
For now, there is nothing further you need to do other than keep every document and email safely and wait for the court's next directions. If the matter proceeds to a hearing, I will continue to assist with the witness statement, evidence bundle and hearing preparation.
