    I was confused by the wording. I'm completely unfamiliar with legal stuff and had not appreciated I was required to "serve" copies on all other parties. I do not know what 'serve' meant and I couldn't find it in bargepole's. The only serving I understand is when papers are served for divorce etc, by hand in a legal manner (according to the TV dramas!)


    So... Coupon -Mad, FI


    You must by 22 July 2019 complete the mall Claims Direction Questionnaire (Form N180) and file it with the court office
    the County Court Business Centre, 4th Floor St Katherine's House 21-27 St Katharine's Street, Northampton, NN1 2LH
    and serve copies on all other parties.


    The first was straightforward, following Bargepole's guidance. (Keith P, I'm guessing you are referring to your previous post about emailing etc (20/5/19) - I do not seem to be able to see post numbers on a mobile... but counted them down!) Yes that bit is all in hand.


    It is the 'serving' that confused me - I'm assuming from all that has been said, I merely send a copy to the claimant. BW Legal are the people who repeatedly send us letters, so I am assuming to email to them so that I have evidence of having sent?

    To File = to send a copy to court
    To Serve = to send a copy to the other side

    Many thanks Johnersh... I'll have got all the lingo just as this draws to a conclusion.

    Thank you to everyone as always for the help... and especially for Bargepole's guide.

    NEWBIES - HOW TO UPLOAD LINKS TO PHOTOS/SCANS TO MSE

    To upload a photo/scan link, you first need to host it on a free photo hosting site (like Dropbox or Imgur), copy the URL, paste it here, but change the http to hxxp and we'll do the conversion. Newbies can't directly upload links to photos/scans until they've a few posts under their belt.

    Please do not use TinyPic or PhotoBucket as they drop all sorts of gratuitous and unsolicited dross on computer screens when their links are opened.
    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.

    Wordpad, notepad or any plain text editor.

    It's the formatting characters in MSWord and the like that the forum struggles with.
