Need help with CCJ Set Aside and issues relating to SAR

Jeff_Goldblum

Got my letters from the court this morning for a proposed allocation to the fast track. States that I've now defended the claim and that form N181 needs completing. Is it largely the same as the N180? ie can I still use bargepole's guide? Also, will I just need to send this questionnaire out via EMAIL to the court and claimant? Thank you.

Allocated to the Fast Track??

That's unusual. Would've expected it to be allocated to the Small Claims Track.

Wait and see what others suggest.

Bargepole guide is referring to the standard claims and DQ that go to the CCBC

Yours is a set aside and subsequent defending of the claim or claims , so it seems like you have your set aside and must now follow court orders in defending the claims themselves

Set aside and defending claims is not the same scenario as following the standard procedures in the usual manner

Was thinking it would be easier just to show you the letter I received.
From the way it is written, it sounds like this is addressed to the Claimant and its just my copy.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I have had a quick look at what The Fast Track is and it just doesn't seem suitable for my case at all. The combined total of the original claims was just over £1,000, whereas it seems The Fast Track is reserved for cases in excess of £10,000. I can't see why a whole day would need to be allocated for it too.

We're 5 months in on this case and I don't think we don't even know who the actual claimant is. I may have missed it in scanning back over the 84 posts across the thread, but could you please provide the information?

Is that addressed to the defendant or to the claimant?

Jeff_Goldblum

It addressed to me, yes. Does anyone have a link or a suggestion of what I can put in box D2 to argue that my case should be on the Small Claims Track? Additionally, does anyone have a guide or thread I can read on filling out the N181?

Hi Umkomaas. More trying to be private with it, as advised but have noted before in this thread (granted its rather big now) that it's Gladstone Solicitors representing Horizon Parking.

I'm no legal expert, but my understanding is that on the fast track there is no limit on costs, great if you win, but potentially crippling if you lose. This must be an error in allocation for a claim of a few hundred pounds. I wonder if @Johnersh (a qualified lawyer) has a view?

Notwithstanding what @Umkomaas has written if you ask Auntie Google, loads of info is available including images of completed N181 forms.
