Cheers coupon-mad!

Any examples of what to write in the letter? And where to send it to?

I guess I sit tight and wait and see if they do!

Coupon-mad

No, examples, I told you what to write...it's a few words. Nothing that needs a daft template.

And you are the one with the order so you know where to send it to, I don't know the Judge's name, you do!

theblackfox

Thanks Coupon-mad! Apologies, I thought it might have to be drafted out in some way, I'll just send a generic letter.

Cheers!

Hi Guys,

Not heard anything up until today (My birthday of all days!)

Gladstones have emailed me asking the following:

"We are yet to receive your defence that you have filed with the court.
We kindly ask for a copy of this."

This is the first direct contact from them, do I ignore it the same way they ignored me when asking for copies?

---

Just a quick recap, it was ordered set aside pending submission of a defence which I had sent to the court via email. The court then confirmed it had been set aside in writing, this is the first correspondence since then.

You do need to send them your defence (ie the defence you sent to court) of course!

Coupon-mad

Send it, with a copy of your costs schedule which includes the £255 and all your costs for attending the first hearing. Tell them this has been lodged with the court already, and because the matter is 'relatively straightforward' that their client has no cause of action, you have asked the court to reserve the matter of costs and invoke a costs order on the indemnity basis, against their client, should Gladstones now discontinue.

And that if a hearing regarding the claim is set, clearly there will be further costs for your attendance again.

Thank you both!

Will get that sent off to them later this evening.

Hopefully not to much more of this, just want it over now

Another update.

Had a letter from the court today.

"Notice of Proposed allocation to the Small Claims Track"
There is also a "Directions Questionnaire" document with it as well.

I have to send the questions off by May 15th.

Is there a certain approach to the answers I should be giving? Also, where does this lead me next?

Yes there is, and you won't be suprised to hear that it is in post #2 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread.

Look for Bargepole's walkthrough - the answers to all the questions are there.

Post #2 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread covers the whole process from LBC right through to any hearing.

That should really be your first port of call before asking any questions at this stage.

This is what I advised you on 17th November last year:

The NEWBIES FAQ sticky, post #2 takes you through the entire court process from LBC to the court hearing.

I'm giving up on repeating advice. My life is too short!
