High courts to decide test case on unenforcable CCA

UNCLE_BUCK

The sun page 2 today reads -
up to 100,000 cases are on hold after the courts were inundated with customers trying to write off debts. judges are now considering stopping claims while a test case is heard in the high court to establish legal principles.
not sure if this is good or bad news??

In general, good news I think.

Some of the reports in the press/media seem to be (as normal) inaccurate regarding this.:rolleyes:

No general 'stay' is in yet in place.

There are two sides to every story and the truth usually lies between the two.

You can find both sides in this thread.

Edit - must type faster. ...Thanks Fermi...

Also appears to have come about due to a recent case where the judge in question (Halbert) ruled on appeal that an agreement was unenforceable due to s127(3) CCA 1974, plus other breaches of sched 1 requirements.

In other words, the opposite to how some are trying to 'spin' it.
