Court Bundle Checklist

leepy9

Hi, have a Notice Of Allocation to The Small Claims Track (Hearing) set for 3rd August 2007.

The letter states “The parties shall exchange and lodge in the Court office the following not later than 4.00pm on the 20th July 2007”

a) The written statements of evidence of all persons giving evidence including the parties whose evidence is relied on in support of or in defence of the claim.
b) Copies of any documents which a party proposes to rely on.
This must include copies of documents sent to the court but not to the other party.”

With this being 2 weeks away, i’m quiet clueless as to what i should be sending. any advice would be greatly appreciated, as i’m quite worried now!

thanks for that, but what i dont fully understand is it asks for a) and b) by the 20th July, then later on in the letter asks for the trial bundle, for both court and hsbc’s solicitors to be with them no less than 7 days before the hearing. So i have 2 seperate dates to hand things in. I presume for the for the 20th July deadlin i need to send a Statement of Evidence, but not too sure what that should consist off. Sorry if im just being a bit dumb here

Hi, the order did say that both parties should "file and serve" their papers. The date has now been and gone, 4th July, and I've not had anything from Barclays so would appreciate if you could point me in the direction of the letter you mention.

If the judges "Order" says each party should "file and serve" their papers, yes, they should (like you) send to both the court and the other party. "File" means to the court and "serve" to the other party.

If Barclays do not send their papers in the specified time, post on here and I'll post the letter applying to the judge for judgement by default (if you haven't already found it on the CAG website). This has happened to me ... the bank have not submitted their court papers, although I have, and I've just sent the letter to the judge and am awaiting his reply.

OK, so I got £750 off Lloyds, but I still want the other approx £1000 they owe me, so I am going to try to get to my local court this week and file a claim (People have advised going to court as opposed to MCOL, cos they can be helpful at the court). Anyway I was wondering exactly what paperwork I need, and do I need to hand any of it over to the court? (If so I need to make copies of everything I have). This is what I have so far:

-My original letter
-Summary of charges
-Copies of statements with relevant charges (printed off online banking)
-Lloyds 1st reply (usual fob-off letter)
-My second letter to them quoting 'without prejudice' etc
-Lloyds reply to this letter offering £750
-My reply to that letter basically saying 'yeah OK, but I still want the rest'
-Additional statements and summary of additional charges incurred since original letter sent with above mentioned reply
-Their reply to the above saying 'No sorry, that's all you're getting' etc

-Some orignal statements with the charges in question
-Some letters from these periods telling me about going O/D, but no mention whatsoever of increasing my O/D which they said is the service they were charging me for!

Do I need some sort of statement saying why I am taking it to court (or is that something I need should it get to court)

Rang the court today and they confirmed they had not had anything from Barclays either. I asked about judgement by default, however, the lady I spoke to suggested I would still have to attend my hearing on 18th July and request this from the judge at this point. Is this right?

I'm at the court bundle stage now and really scared where do I find it and how do I fill it in I've read it can be hundreds of pages long scarey!!!!!:eek:

It can (mine was 230 pages long), but it can also only be a couple of pages long. Have a good read of the last few pages of this thread and you'll see links to the CAG forum where all the information is.

You should get this letter to the judge ASAP ... I wouldn't have thought you'd have to attend court :-
