    Just got an email for notice of discontiuance from the legal team.

    Moreover, they also submitted a defence to the counterclaim.

    You appear to have them by the short and curlies, go for the jugular.
    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.
  • interestingly in their defence, they only mention the part about the proof of distress.
    No mention of anything in regards to the DPA/GDPR breach.

    I undersand now I have to pay a hearing fee (on top of the filing fee) in order to get this before a judge.
    Not sure also how i prove distress...

    Letter from your doctor, therapist, or employer, copy of prescriptions?

    Got it.
    Will have to employer, as no therapist, doctor or prescription invovled in this matter.

    Do all the points of the counterclaim have to stick for the judge to rule in favour? or would elements of the counterclaim be sufficient?

    Surely only the  judge can answer that question.

  • True.

    What would be the process now then?
    Only thing i can think of is making sure this goes before a judge, so need to call CBCC and put it forward for the hearing.

    If   you have paid the fees your case goes for a hearing

    I understand there is a seperate hearing fee.
