    Hello everyone I hope you all are well.
    Just recieved mail today from court about a telephone hearing for this case. Not to confidant about the phone hearing because i think it will give an advantage to the claimant and to be honest was hopping that the claimant rep won't turn up to court if it was a physical hearing .
    What you guys think and whats the best way to object to a phone hearing.
    Your advice is much appreciated. 
    You havent shown us the letter, that Ive seen, so may be consider doing that. 
    Its usually relaly expllcit as to who has to set up the call and do what
    But just in case, show us.

    Read, carefully, the BOLD test under PLEASE NOTE
    Theyre the claimant, they must arrange it.

    At Worthing court - so you are in my area!  We see this all the time from Worthing Court.

    Do what I suggested in my last reply.  It's very possible Gladstones will fail to arrange a telephone hearing but you need to ensure the Judge and Gladstones have your phone number, maybe two days before is better.  That way, if Gs do nothing then the court staff can phone you and you can 'have the floor' with just you and the Judge on the call.

    Mobile is fine, but if youve got odd / dodgy signal, make sure you know how to deal,

    If the hearing fails be sure to ask for costs.
