    No we don't have differing dates of response - on the notice of allocation DJ ordered:

    5/ Each party must deliver to the other party and to the court office copies of all documents ... no later than 12 April 2022.

    10/ Each party may, by 4pm on 6 April 2022 file in court a concise written response to the documents ... served by the other party.

    12/ ... considered on papers on 8 September 2022

    Trial fee due 11 August.

    I am wondering if there are typos on dates, even months! However, I'm obviously sticking to the ones on the order.

    Thank you for the feedback I need to go through and organise refs better and ensure all exhibits, so hard to see on your own work though sometimes.  I will continue to sort costs then - guess I'm just fed up of it all but probably a lot less so than those on the board!

    Is it all basically ok though? have I missed anything?

    If you are dubious about the apparently 'impossible' dates and your other similar date doubts, a call to your local court might be best to get things ironed out.  
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Hi - thank you all - I spent a very, very late night compiling the bundle, numbering etc and then submitted at 10am this morning when courts were open (in case).  I received a discontinuation notice at 10:45 from DCB Legal - but just for this claim number - nothing about the other claim number, for which I put a defence in on 21/3/22. 

    I guess they take it to the wire in case they win?

    Stressful, and time consuming and absolutely impossible without all these on the forum - thank you so much - what do we do to pay it back, or forwards? Though saying that I will probably be back about the other claim if that meanders through the courts this far.

    Thanks again to this forum - you're awesome.

    Yay!  ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

    The best thing you could do to help other newbies is if you could copy & paste here a redacted version of your WS, or a dropbox link to a version of the whole bundle, with identifying ID removed.

    People struggle with if and some more new/recent examples are needed, that include the stuff about the new statutory Code and ban on debt recovery false 'fees' enhancement.
