Suspended courts in NI??

BabyDiesel

Hi all,
Does anyone know if it's true that all cases in NI have been suspended while some sort of statement is sorted or issued??
If this is true can we still put a claim in or do we have to wait until we're told otherwise? If we do wait does that not mean that the banks will think we've backed down? What does it mean by some some sort of statement being made? Is it the banks or the courts doing the statement?

Really confused now! Any info will be much appreciated!

PS I've posted it here and on the main reclaiming forum cos i want as many to see and answer as poss - hope this is ok! :think: )

Hi all

I phoned the court service, The man i spoke to said that as far as he's aware they hav'nt been suspended, maybe have to wait longer than usual but that they are awaiting to hear the outcome of a case in England but the case he's talking about in England is that a bank is defending a claim and intends not to pay out and that their hoping that this will be a predecident (think thats the word!) for other banks to follow, which i gather means that all banks are hoping they will win so that they can do exactly as them and win over here as well!?!?!?!? To his knowledge no one over here has lost but says he can't guarantee that that will always be the case! He hasn't heard the full story but because its them that mainly deal with it, he finds it a bit underhand?

I hope this explains it a bit for you all!

Good luck to u all

Fingers crossed I've attached the above link correctly! If not, go to thismoney.co.uk and look down the right hand side for a topic titled 'blow for bank charge reclaiming' it tells a bigger story and makes me feel a bit better about the whole thing!!
