That's a new one on me. The court (generally) has no power to order the parties to mediate and doesn't normally get involved in the practicalities of it. Historically, it has offered a service where, if both parties accepted, they would refer the matter to a retained external mediaiton provider.
More recently, the small claims mediation service has seen the Court Service use its own trained mediators, who are Court Service employees - usally carried out by telephone, as I mentioned above. Certainly not DJs though.
That said, there are sometimes local pilot schemes or initiatives specific to that court, so I suppose it's possible to have a DJ conduct a mediation.

OP - Just curious. What form did the mediation take?
Was it just a phone call from the mediator? How did he / she react when you made it clear that you weren't going to budge?
I was once in a similar position, guy thought I owed him money, and I thought that I didn't, in fact, he owed me money AFAIWC, so although we had both ticked the 'open to mediation' box there really wasn't anything to mediate, so she just dropped it and it went to an actual case in front of the judge.Was it just a phone call from the mediator?

Can't it be a population of one?
Nope you get sample size minus one in the denominator in the variance equation. So you can't use a sample size of one. The singular of demographic doesn't help either.Bert
I hope you have more luck than I've just had with a complete buffoon I sold some MX5 window regulators too.
Removed by me from my own car I was broken, genuine original parts (one had been replaced at some point with a new genuine part). All MK1 are the same.
Because the idiot couldn't work out how to fit it he claimed firstly it wasn't an MX5 part. When I pointed out it could only be an MX5 part due to the part numbers and design he then went on to claim it was a MK2 part, when I then supplied him and paypal who he had raised a dispute with pictures of a MK1 part and MK2 part and the photos of the parts I sent out clearly showing they were MK1 guess who paypal sided with.
It wasn't me.
Hopefully the court has a bit more common sense than the genius I spoke to at paypal this morning when asked "why when I've proven this is the correct part are you refunding him his money" the response was that in situations like this where the buyer thinks it's wrong they side with the buyer.
Good luck it's a crazy world.

Ebay/Paypal are in no way lacking in common sense, they recognise that they need buyers more than they need sellers, so it's hardly surprising that situations like this are decided in favour of the buyer. The judge doesn't have the same agenda, though.Good luck it's a crazy world.
