  • No, just 1 copy to the claimant, direct to their solicitors. You can only email it if you have their express permission to do so, OR they have served THEIR documents via email I woul dsuggest that is implicit permission to do the same in return.

    I was planning on doing what KeithP suggested 'No. Hand deliver one to the court, send a copy to the Claimant - address on your Claim Form, i.e Gladstones, and take one copy with you on the day.'

    Normal maximum for costs is £95.  For unreasonable behaviour of claimant (a high bar to cross) the sky is the limit.

    Ok great and would they require proof for any of the research costs or my calculation for my loss of earnings?

    Is it worth me going for the unreasonabkle behaviour or not? Is the worst than can happen they just say no?
  • Loss of earnings OR loss of leave - yes, of course. Payslip usually.
    Yes, the worsst that can happen is the court doenst award you the unreaonsable costs behaviour. 
    Proof of time spent researhing - if you say 10000 hours, they will likely say youre talking rubbish. 1 hour might be too little. Be REALISTIC and, as you are NOT expected to have maintained timesheets (pointless anyway, if you want to lie you just lie on them as well) there isnt any proof.,

    I should really charge for a lot more hours for you guys where I have frustrated you with all of my questions :)

  • One final question and then I promise I will leave you all alone -
    As one of my exhibits I have attached POFA Sch 4 and highlighted points 5 and 6, however the rest of schedule takes up about  7 pages, should i remove the rest and just leave the points I have highlighed to save some space in the exhibits?

    No, you do not exhibit POFA. It is law. It is sometjhing both sides can see. You just need the specific excerpt .
    This stops you printing out useless bits of legislation when all you need are a couple of para. 
  • Perfect thank you,
    I think its all ready to print then :) 
    Thanks again for all of your time and patience to get me to this stage.

    You are not asking too much in costs.  You should get up to £95 for missing a day's work to go to court.
    Loss of earnings/leave, incurred through attendance at Court 24/03/2020 £48.00

    You surely don't mean your hearing is Monday and you haven't filed & served all this yet?
