Ignored SAR request.

Email the CCBC in your wife's name , attaching a copy of the claim form as proof of I D and state that the AOS was filed incorrectly and attach a copy of the filled in aos paper form too , filled in and signed by her and ask them to amend the AOS to reflect it came from her by email

Better to get in front of it asap , than explain later , so cover yourselves , and no more Identity mistakes going forward

You are either a

Witness

Or

Lay representative

I completed the AOS online on 1st April.

I created a gateway I put my details as the contact correspondence but my wife is the named defendent.

However I signed the AOS in my name as it said underneath the signature section (defendent)(Defendents Legal Representitive)(Litigation Friend). So I assumed this was OK as I was helping her to complete the online paperwork. Is this not the case I am now worried I have done something wrong up to this point.

A 'legal representative':

Paragraph 2.3 of Part 2 of the CPR defines a “legal representative” as a

• Barrister;
• Solicitor;
• Solicitor’s employee;
• Manager of a body recognised by the SRA; or
• A litigator authorised under the Legal Services Act 2007.

A 'Litigation Friend':

From Gov.UK

You can be appointed as litigation friend to make decisions about a court case for either:

• an adult who lacks the mental capacity to manage their own court case either with or without a solicitor
• a child

The court case can be any of the following:

• a civil case, except a tribunal
• a family case
• a Court of Protection case

You’ll have to go to court if there’s a hearing, but you cannot act as the other person’s lawyer.

An adult with a litigation friend is called the ‘protected party’ in court.

Always check. Google is just 6 letters away.

Thank you for all of your advice. My wife has now emailed the CCBC. Will this affect the dates for returning the rest of the paperwork?

Redx

No , but keep checking MCOL claim history in case they update it

No more paperwork will be returned , only emails to the ccbcaq email address

So no more posting of any paperwork , plus nothing else on MCOL , except checking it , read only mode from now on

The actual Defence will be signed by your wife and emailed by her too , like the defence template thread tells you , so read it carefully

SayNoToPCN

She signs a white piece of paper and takes a photo. This cropped appropriately photo is pasted into the defence document, and then you output to word
NEVER needs a printer!
