    Super breakdown of the hearing details. Wow, the Judge seems to have got hold of a good handful of short and curlies there!  Will you be party to the second hearing @Elf2021, or will you just await its outcome ..... and your costs award?

    Will this influence how DCB Legal behave in future, or are they too leather-skinned?  Could tee them up nicely for a SRA complaint?

    I wonder if this Judge has studied the DLUHC Code of Practice findings? 

    Given the fob-off from Tracy Baitup, once you have the judgment and your costs award, I'd write to her and Luke Gross and give them a detailed account of the hearing (similar to your post above) and tell them to rethink their policy about how they treat their customers as the British justice system seriously disagrees with them!  See what they say.

    His parting phrase was - it's not just about this defendant - I am more concerned it is bigger than just this case.. I am concerned about how many people have just paid out of fear. he wanted to know how many letters had gone out, and how much money they had earned that they weren't entitled to!!!

    Sooner or later, such comments from a Judge had to happen.
    We hope that his comments will spread to all the county courts.

    I am certain that it will not be too long before these "monopoly money players" discover that such claims will fail and cost them money.

    If you could tell us the name of the judge, the court and claim number, it will help others to refer to this Judge
