    Just list your costs - make them detailed and put in an amount for the extra hours you've had to spend on this because of the Claimants withholding of information that they should have provided under the Civil Procedure Rules. Send it to them as a "draft" as there will be other costs to be added by the time it gets to a hearing. Get proof of posting.

    NPM will need to drop the case early if they don't want a costs order made against them so it is your decision whether to make this "a drop hands" offer i.e. both parties walk away or whether you are happy to take this all the way to help your fellow residents that may be suffering from this idiot.

  • Thank you I will list the costs and will take some time to consider the second paragraph above.
    Kind regards

    There is a draft cost schedule layout (including the types of costs you could claim) in the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, post #2. It has been drafted by Loadsofchildren123- a practising solicitor.
    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.

    Thank you - I'll get that sorted.
  • We are in court tomorrow morning for the hearing. I just wanted to say thank you to all who have provided us with help and advice on this matter. I will post the outcome here tomorrow.
    Many thanks once again.

    The very best of luck.

    Yes, please do let us have feedback on the outcome (whichever way), it really does help us keep up with the way courts are thinking - and if you win, gives us all a boost and further motivation to continue the campaign.

    When you get there, check the listings with the usher as there may be more of you. You can help each other out. Just ask the usher to point out the other party/parties.

    Good luck and don't let the other side rattle you. Stick to the facts and if you think the other side are lying - don't say lying but tell the judge that they are mistaken and should produce evidence rather than relying on hearsay.
