zombie_trick said:CASE DISMISSED!!
Firstly, Many many thanks to everyone on this forum who directed very well for the court case. An additional thanks to people who responded and provided their experience with evidences collected. They were really helpful.
The hearing conducted online and we had to wait for Gladstone Solicitors representative who never joined. I would say a very unprofessional behaviour (though that's least expected from business with wrong values and fundamental ethics).
Gladstones never attend court hearings or even hearings now; because they don't want to answer any questions posed by the Judge and the Defendant or be subject to criticism. Much better to send a 3rd party, who doesn't have to answer any awkward questions.3 -
zombie_trick said:Hahahaha.. To be honest, Its tough to find difference between the two. When I googled it, found a very thin line difference the two.
But looking into my case, yes its 'Judge'.What is the difference between a judge and a magistrate UK?Magistrates have fewer and more limited powers than judges. ... Judges generally hear larger, more complex cases while magistrates hear smaller matters such as petty crime and traffic offenses. Judges and magistrates have different jurisdictional powers. Judges can preside over a large area, sometimes the entire country

Clearly judges are not volunteers , they don't need a trained legal person in court such as a clerk of the court because they have legal training and qualifications , they sit alone on these cases , not in threes and they make a decision based on their own knowledge plus the legal precedents etc
It may have seemed a moot point but it's valid when you consider that some PCN,s are penalties where bylaws apply and should be heard in a magistrates court within 6 months and yours was a civil court about a private invoice , presided by a single judge and should be heard within 6 years
Again , well done on your win2 -
Well done ... good result.
Difficult to understand the mentality of Gladstones, they are all full of huff and puff and then, they don't turn up ???

Quite a valid point @beamerguy. I will attach it over here as soon I receive letter from court. The situation I believe is quite self-explanatory on the first post of this thread.

There was an abuse of process. But the case had been dismissed on the ground of "no loss no claim".

Deputy District Judge ThistleSome Judges can be quite prickly. 🙂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. .
