    Wow even more!  Report them to the SRA.

    One question I would ask ..... BWLegal lost the first case, did they appeal that case as they do sometimes ?
    I would phone the court to ask the question.

    If not then this is sheer incompetence by BWLegal and unreasonable behaviour and your costs claim must reflect this.
    A severe complaint to the SRA must be done

    Why avoid court when you, and the judge could give them a hiding.  Write to the SRA

    https://www.sra.org.uk/

    asking if they condone such behaviour,  and complain to your MP.

    You could make a formal Applicaiton (£100 cost that you reclaim) toi have this claim dismissed now
    You would provide evidence of the previouis claim being won by you, possibly the order of judgment if you still have it, and alongside the order you would claim costs of app PLUS your costs of making the applicaiton in your time
    There is zero costs protection for the claimant right now, as the claim has not yet been allocated - I presume? 
    You said "they wanted to continue" - hoiw do you know?

    For this original Claim I have already been to court and won the case back in 2019 the judge also refused their appeal on the day.

    @beamerguy, does the above info from OP make any difference?  If appal route was denied on the day, can it be appealed later without the defendant being involved in the process?

    I did see that ..... the whole system works in a mysterious way and covid has not helped.

    It does however appear that this is incompetence by BWLegal and as such, action should be taken

    If it were appealed, the D would have been informed,. and it certainly could not be a NEW claim form.

    As far as I am aware, an appeal can still be made even if the judge of the original case denies the claimant the right to appeal. I'm not sure how this works though.

    Absolutely this can happen. but they would have been obliged to inform the D that an appeal was lodged, and even if the appeal was successful, it would NOT result in a new claim form being sent!
