Well done, great result, whichever way it has been achieved.

Good on you for raising this. It may not have been the 'Eureka' moment, but I'd hope it's got him thinking.

Did you get your costs awarded?

No costs, I did ask but he said no. Made it sound like you don't receive them if it's dismissed

Redx

well done anyway


we keep telling people its JUDGE BINGO when they ask about the odds of winning , yet they never understand that court is unpredictable

I do feel sorry for the "wet behind the ears" legals Gladstones send to court

The 'agent' I had seemed like a local hired hand. More old and jaded rather than wet behind the ears. I think he knew the judge already and didn't really seem to care what happened

Slightly dodgy Judge though. DJ Grand is not a deputy Judge and the Consumer Rights Act and POFA are law, and the Beavis case proves that to add costs is double recovery.

I was very surprised at how little credence he gave this argument. I really hope that changes the more people bring it up.

which is bizarre as i think he awarded costs to a previous dismissed claim the previous week.

Why do we always get the fun ones in norfolk

Normal for Norfolk? The fact he didn't allow your ordinary costs is shocking.

Just to add on one of the claims that lost.

• Gladstone used a s"solicitors agent"
  Judge allowed the fee
  Judge allowed the 60£
  Judge allowed interest
  Judge allowed the £75 leal fees

£281.40 overall

No wonder one defendant had to be escorted out of the court a week or so ago.

I will be the guy going to appeal if that is what it required.

If you think that a judge has erred in law you can complain to the JCIO, read this

Sadly that link states you cannot complain about the judgement or case management powers.

only swearing, sleeping or some fraud etc

I think an appeal is the best way as CM posted once someone looses with abuse of process and the judge either says thats right or thats wrong on the record.
