Need help with CCJ Set Aside and issues relating to SAR

Le_Kirk

Is this a defence that you have been asked (by the judge) to provide as part of your set-aside application?  Haven't you already supplied a witness statement as part of the original application?  If you have had a court hearing, probably best to send the defence to a named court - does it not say in your court order?

Ahh sorry if it wasn't clear. The judgement was set aside on Monday. I now have until just after Easter to submit my defence.

Do not send anything to the CCBC. The CCBC has no involvement here.
You are dealing with your local court, aren't you?
Doesn't your Court Order tell you what to send and where?

Good, I've just looked back through the thread and seen that you did get the set-aside on Monday (apologies for not noticing it earlier) therefore the advice stands from me and @KeithP what does the order say or what did the judge say or where did the set-aside hearing take place?  Even if it wasn't a F2F hearing, there would have been paperwork from a court somewhere.

Hi guys, not received a Court Order in the post and its been a week! No emails or anything. Will call the court now to see whats going on.

Jeff_Goldblum

No answer on the phone. It puts you through then immediately disconnects. Had the same issues last week with telephone hearing and spoke to technical support who had the same issues contacting this court.
Tried emailing them and this is an excerpt from their email:

"Trial bundles and Application bundles may not be supplied by email. They will not be printed and will not be supplied to the judge. Please do not send the documentation (or information) which you have sent by this email via post, DX or by more than one email account because this will cause unnecessary work and duplication and you may be charged twice."

Would the best course of action be sending my defence via post to the local court now?
They don't make this process simple do they!

You are phoning your local court?

Jeff_Goldblum

I have done yes and the line just goes dead when trying to get through. Same court I had the hearing with.

Jeff_Goldblum

OK, so wonderful. Managed to get through to them and know where its all going now. One last question please. I have mentioned the original cases as separate for clarity in my Defence so the judge can see what was relating to what original case. Due to the fact that they have been consolidated now is this bad practice? Should I just refer to the total costs instead of segmenting them? Going to do a final revision tonight and get it sent ASAP. Thank you all again.

Jeff_Goldblum

So essentially what I decided to do is to leave it as is and acknowledge that the claims were consolidated at the beginning of my defence to make it clear to the Judge what has happened in regards to it. Hope that is the best thing to do.
