You do realise that a Barrister is higher up in the pecking
order than a county court judge .... that's how0 -

There is the principal (which pays to understand) of res judicata - a matter that has been adjudicated by a competent court and therefore may not be pursued further by the same parties - if they are pursing the same issues and a competent court has ruled on it, then you can put to the court (along with a long list of costs and a request to have BW issued with a restraining order) that the matter has already been decided. This puts BW on notice to show in what way this case is different from the rest and how they are not wasting everyone's time.
If the issues are the same then a counterclaim for harassment will get the matter into court and stop BW !!!!ing around and issues more claims.
Yes same location, everyone of them!The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.0 -

Yes I knew that and the assumption that accompanied it!!!
Why do you think people are so keen to find out what happened......
It's not like it would be an entire abuse of position or process is it?0 -
Is it not obvious, a Barrister at the top of his game took on a scammer, the scammer lost.You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0

I think that it's a cop out for the courts to exclude 27.14(2)(g) so often - if you can demonstrate the claim was baseless from the outset, and you drew this to the C's attention, then these orders should be more common. But the judges are too lazy/chicken. this is sometimes why, where a claim is demonstrably baseless, I advise posters to reply every time to the debt collectors letters spelling it out. How can a Claimant then get out of the fact that the claim was unreasonable?Although a practising Solicitor, my posts here are NOT legal advice, but are personal opinion based on limited facts provided anonymously by forum users.

did anyone think of obtaining the transcript? it was open court so anyone could have applied. If the date/court is known it may be an idea, although someone would have to pay for it of course.Although a practising Solicitor, my posts here are NOT legal advice, but are personal opinion based on limited facts provided anonymously by forum users.

I could not agree more, in my case the defendant submitted his WS six days late, counter claimed under BOC where no contract existed, submitted an estimate from a conveyancer as legal charges, and an unsigned copy of a loan agreement as EA fees.
The judge dismissed my claim for my time, (£200) in seconds, I am mindful to complain that he failed to consider it properly bur Bargepole says he is a good egg.
The Defendant has not paid me and is 36 hours away from losing his chair, (he is a dentist).You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0 -
He still hasn't paid you TD? It must be like pulling teeth.
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.

When dealing with a judgement debtor who is a professional it's a good wheeze to get an order for the debtor to attend court so you can find out what money he's got
The debtor is ordered to attend and bring his financial details for questioning.
