    On reflection, I say both.

    As I said earlier, I think a strong complaint to Gladstones is also called for.

    A complaint to G's and the SRA may well see the claim discontinued.

    It is very serious.

    Last time I saw this happen it was a P/Eye case and they dropped it like a hot potato when I said I was reporting Rosanna Breaks to the SRA.

    Email to g's

    Dear

    I am very surpised to recieve a claim form dated 11/11/19 when you very clearly metioned in the previous email that you will be proviiding an extention till the 3rd of december.

    i fell that this is a very unprofessional way of dealing with the case when you seem to be unsure about the process.

    can i add anything else ?

    Yes of course... that you are complaining to the SRA about their unreasonable conduct and if the claim goes ahead you will be seeking cost due to that unreasonableness.

    That is really weak, sorry.

    I threatened ParkingEye with being hung drawn and quartered when they did it!

    Instead of complaining to the SRA now, a different tactic might be to progress the claim normally but claim costs for the Claimant's unreasonable behaviour.

    That unreasonable behaviour being a written statement on 1st November stating that they would delay processing until 3rd December and then issuing a County Court Claim on 11th November.

    Good call. SRA complaint is needed, to:

    report@sra.org.uk

    Mark it for the Investigation Officers.
