Phase 1: CCJ Removed. Phase 2: Claim Discontinued. Phase 3: Costs.

I would break down those 40 hours on a separate sheet.  Blow by blow.  Item by item.

Expect BW Legal to send you a scary costs schedule too.  The difference is, YOU have a chance of getting your costs.  They don't, because you haven't acted unreasonably.

@Coupon-mad thanks for the heads up. If you was a betting woman, would you say by the fact they've ignored judges orders; they are going to cancel the hearing last minute?

I think this is wrong and could definitely be improved, but as a base.

Break Down of Hours Spent

1. 15 hours - Learning relevant law, starting from ground up be able to respond to this claim in a legal manor. 
2. 2.5 hours - Gathering historic information to provide to Claimant and request they set aside the incorrect Judgement they entered against me.
3. 5 hours - Research and learning the process and procedures to defend a CCJ after Claimant refused and claimed the default judgement was entered correctly. 
4. 6 hours - preparation for court hearing preparation to have CCJ set aside. 
5. 1.5 hours - Driving to Subway shop to gather photographic evidence.
6. 10 hours - preparation for court hearing for the hearing scheduled for 14th July 2023.

Replace 'manor' with 'manner'.

I think they might still discontinue.

Make sure you phone the court the afternoon before the hearing, because BW have been known to have sent a NoD to the court and not the Defendant:

Waiting for your PM @ampersand

Just been to the shop to get some A4 paper as the printer was out to, I've got a folder so I can prepare a folder quickly and drop it to the courts, then perhaps email BW legal separate emails so they go through.

It'll likely be the photos I took on my iPhone being large in size. 10mg is such a low limit though from the courts!
