Completely forgot to write this letter. Just slipped my mind.

Received a letter from the court. Says the following edited to make it shorter

District Judge Anson has considered the statements of case and directions questionnaire filed and allocated the claim to the small claims track.

Unless the claimant does by 1st Sept pay the court fees (£25) or file a properly completed application (ie one which provides all the required information in the manner requested) the claim will be struck out with effect from 1st September without further order and, unless the court otherwise, you will also be liable for the costs which the defendant has incurred.

The hearing of the claim will take place on 29th September.


Can I still write letter above or have I left it too late? Presume they will pay fees and potentially have to go to court

costs?

£25 for the initial court fee,

Seems like they haven't paid yet

they will have paid the initial costs but not the second part

this is small claims and the max costs are £50 for a solisitor , you have not been found guilty do the £60 -£100 does not apply

May as well write politely to the Judge (as planned above, pointing some omissions out) and also attach a copy of your costs schedule, in case the Claimant doesn't pay the fee. And ask for clarification: if the Claimant does pay the court fee, when will you get the chance to amend your defence and by what date, as stated in the previous strike out order.

I have written a letter. No response yet. The second court letter I received as I mentioned above which said they need to pay court fees which also had a court date of 29th Sept. I have had no other communication from the court to confirm date and have no confirmation weather they have paid the court fees or not. I did receive another copy of statement of truth therefore presume they have paid but can't say for sure.

My question is will my hearing take place 29th Sept? Should I have received another letter from court with the date again confirming hearing? Don't know where I stand at present. If I have to attend court when I do I submit skeleton argument.

Yes, unless the other side discontinue.

Should I have received another letter from court with the date again confirming hearing?

No.

You got your Witness statement and evidence filed a while back did you, we can't recall?

Skeleton argument is up to you, they are not mandatory and just ct as a crib sheet for your defence points. You do need to send all parties your costs schedule, as per the NEWBIES thread example.

You asked in July...

Presumably you have a court date now, and a deadline to file your Witness Statement and evidence?

But I cannot see that the OP mentioned a Witness Statement after that. :eek:

I submitted my defence when it was due. I have no witness.

I have not been asked to submit any evidence. Only 2 letters from the court. Both addressed to claimant which I mentioned above. I have not been asked to do or submit anything else. First letter even said I will be given a chance to send an amended defense. No letter to ask me to send amended defence.

So you haven't submitted a witness statement in your name?
