Appeal not accepted or rejected but receiving debt collection notices

Redx

I would write to the court and judge , complaining about this and include a costs schedule in 2 or more parts , one dealing with the court case itself and your costs , time off work with proof of salary , parking , travel , out of pocket expenses
The second part to cite unreasonable behaviour and a costs of say £250 or £500 or whatever you deem fit , quoting the relevant CPR

I would do this asap , stating you asked the court staff but nobody could deal with it at the time

As well as advised by Redx, complain about G's behaviour to the SRA. They already have their claws in them so adding your weight to this will push them ever closer to the tipping point.

My case is similar to https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/72966188#Comment_72966188 given that the costs are from 2015, have they since been amended in regards to mileage/researching defence/printing etc?

Where citing unreasonable behaviour 27.14(2)(g) do i put a figure or ask the court at their discretion?

As above
They discontinued FAR too close to the hearing.
They also breached the courts order to supply a WS etc. 
I would write to the court and set out your WASTED ordinary costs - you turned up as, as of 4pm friday, YOU had not been told of the discontinuance. 
Max £95 for loss of pay / leave, parking, mileawge
Then bullet list their unreasonable behaviour and ask that the court makes an award for your time based on the following  - give a DETAILED breack down of all stages of your claim, from writing the defence, WS, compiling evidence, etc in terms of time spent and direct costs. 
Attach proof of e..g the notice being dated 07.02, your loss of leave or pay, and lay it on relatively thick. THe courts should be annoyed at this behvaious.

THEN get on with complaining to the SRA _ ask how this clear breach of their professional duty to the corut AND to you can be allowed to go unsanctioned?

They are costs. Only you know what costs you have incurred. Of course you must state a figure.

You also need to show how you arrived at that figure.

As above
You cant just leave the court to make up their mind. How many hours did yo uspend writing your defence/ How many hours researching it? ETc
YOU know this
WE dont
THE COURT doesnt either.

Great,

Thanks, I estimate i spent approx as below:
-2 hours appealing to notice to keeper including research, reading up on previous cases and going through through PoFA 2012.
-2 hours responding (including researching and getting advice) to letter before claim.
-5 hours writing up defence (including research and getting advice).
-5 hours preparing witness statement and concerns claimaint has failed to serve me WS so i cannot file proper defence.
-2 hours reading CPR and understanding what can be claimed due to late discontinuation.
-Loss of Annual days leave salary pro-rata 1 day  (this very high figure, which can be backed up with Payslip)
-18 miles round trip to court by car.
-Copies of Defence/WS/Evidence.

You now need to put monetary values to that.
£19 per hour. 45p per mile. Parking near court cost?

Add it all up and put a total.

I really hope you already did what I told you to do in advance, on 1st Feb.  I laid the groundwork for these costs.

Summary costs assessment
...include all your hours spent working in the case and proof of your normal 'workplace' hourly rate, and tell the Judge that the Claimant has failed to file & serve any WS or evidence and you are concerned that they are going to take it to the final few days then discontinue. As such you are reasonably asking for your summary costs schedule to be considered and for those costs to be ordered against the Claimant, in the event of either:
- a very late discontinuance, or
- the claim now being struck out.

Yes this was done and submitted to the Courts the following morning.
