    Predictable behaviour on their part, especially with a robust defence and a remote court location from their base. How far away from Truro was the courtroom?

    Have you filed for costs?

    @Umkomaas,

    Yes I filed for costs and I was awarded them.

    I filed for postage and printouts but I was refused. Filed for unreasonable behaviour that was refused. Tbh it was like a day trip out for me :D.

    The distance is to Oldham, which is just north of Manchester. If they didn't fancy Manchester they certainly would not fancy Oldham, maybe a little too cold for them :rotfl:

    Is Boundary Park still called "Ice Station Zebra"?

    Who in their right mind would undertake a return journey of almost 700 miles, with over 12 hours of driving to try to recover ~£200? They'll never turn up.

    But the chance they do take is if the case isn't defended, there's no need to do any driving - default win, cheque to follow (possibly). And there are all the 'folders' who do send a cheque.

    Much easier and more lucrative than lying on the sofa in a onesie playing Sky Bingo and eating Pot Noodles every day.

    A strong defence and a remoteness from Cornwall is a deadly combination though! Well done Fawkes.

    Really interested in fuller details when you get round to publishing.

    @Castle, And people thought we had no fans because of the football :D

    @Umkomaas

    I was awarded costs for loss of pay.

    I will add further details when I receive them.

    I was trying to listen as best I could but was too happy to fully concentrate :)

    Hope this helps :)
