    They didn't turn up to court today! So the judge struck out the case :)
    So, so pleased and relieved. Justice done.
    Thank you all so much for your help and support, I wouldn't have dared take CEL on without you guys.
    ..I know you'll want to know about costs. The judge awarded me £90 costs. I did ask for more based on the claimant behaving unreasonably but he was having none of it! Wasn't prepared to award costs for liturgy in person or printing/postage. I don't mind at all though just so relieved not to have to pay CEL one penny.

    Thanks again guys x


    yup £90 was less that hiring a solisitor for the day , sad innit that a COMPANY can take the £$%s out of the court system

    Good news:beer:

    The courts must be fed up with the "NO SHOW CEL"

    I’m not sure that’s right BG, otherwise the judge would have been considering more than £90 costs against them. Failing to turn up twice must surely be pushing at the ‘unreasonableness’ threshold.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
