Eek, our court for filing for BR is the High Court in London :eek::eek::eek:, it all sounds very scary now... apparently we have to drop in any week day 10-12 with our completed paperwork, and then come back at 14.30 to find out if our BR has been approved.
Why does this sound so scary? I am trying to convince myself it is just a bigger building and the rules are the same...

wherediditallgo, NekoZombie and PixiePie all petitioned at the High Court.
They describe their experience in some of their threads/posts.
Impressive building(s) apparently, but nothing to be worried or daunted about.

Hi IDAW, there have been a few member who have gone to the High Court, if you search this forum there's quite a detailed description as to what happens there, something about going to one buliding for fees and another for the judge. I don't think it was any more scary than a county court.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0

Every time I post on here it's always with something that maxes out my stress levels - and then a couple of comforting responses and it all settles down again.

I think for any normal law abiding citzen,th word COURT conjures all sorts of images. So when you read HIGH COURT it threw you into a real panic,to be honest it would me too.

The Royal Courts of Justice building hears very few criminal cases, it's mostly civil stuff there.
Get there early, I would, it's an absolutely massive building and easy to get lost in even if you go there a lot!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0
