    I received an email today after I sent their solicitor a 7 page email tearing their 'stuff' apart.
    The email was from David Bell, Legal Adviser (commercial) at Pendragon PLC. it said
    'Struth. The salon is not busy today.'
    I'm sure they shouldn't be in direct contact with me and whether sent intentionally or accidently, it's inappropriate!
    What are you thoughts?

    ...I'm sure they shouldn't be in direct contact with me...

    They can do what they like.

    It does sound as if they are not taking your claim seriously.

    However you do it, you need to get this before a court as soon as you can.

    Let them make sarcastic remarks to a district judge, and see how far it gets them.

    You could reply to Mr Bell pointing out he can't spell 'strewth', and offer him a free cut and blow dry.

    Equally it's pointless you disputing their defence by emailing them direct!

    Save it for the courts.

    Returning to your OP:

    It seems you want to add an additional claim on to your existing claim??

    If that is so, you would need to issue a new claim for this separate item.

    But you may as well await the outcome of your existing claim - if you win, then hopefully any subsequent claim you want to make against the defendant over the same incident would be paid without the need for court action.

    And if you lose, then issuing a further court claim over the same incident could be just good money after bad.

    (You have plenty of time to start proceedings over money you are owed - 6 years)

    Just let them dig their hole. DJs do not appreciate big corporate types pushing the little guy around. Let the judge know you find their approach inappropriate and intimidating.
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark

    Be careful with professional reports as there is a limit to how much you can get awarded back.

    Thinks its about £200 but may have changed. Anything more than that and its money you wont see again even if you win.

    It's not me who has appointed a professional for a report, it's them, I want my costs covered as they rejected an inspection in September 2010.

    As far as email I received, they say it was not intended for me & 'please refer to the diclaimer at the bottom of the email'!

    So are they saying they can intimidate me and just say 'sorry, it wasn't for you & our disclaimer covers our incompetance/deliberate intentions!?'

    I spoke to the Clerk at the Courts...
    I do not have to amend my Particulars of Claim unless ordered by the Judge!

    Who was the professional who provided the report?
