Despite the march of technology, CCBC are still sending DQ's through the post!

Hello, I have finally received the DQ. 

question D1 Do you consider that this claim is suitable for determination without a hearing? Do I put Yes or No for this ? 

Also right at the front top To be completed by, or on behalf of, do I just need to put my name in there?

This is all explained in the NEWBIES thread 2nd post which covers all the old and new questions.

Hi, can anyone advice me on this i have a court date for September 10th and still not sure how to write the witness statement they have sent me a copy of theirs.. is it a case of copy and edit from this group or do i just write what happened on the day and read it to the judge on the court day?

***We act for the Claimant in the above matter.  

 Please find attached, by way of service, the Claimant's Witness Statement.     

 In accordance with CPR 27.9 our Client hereby gives notice that it will not be attending the hearing. 

  We confirm the court has been informed and that we have asked the Court to decide the claim in our Client's absence based on the evidence submitted.   WHAT DOES THIS PART MEAN JUST THEIR LAWERS WILL BE THERE OR THEY ARE NOT SHOWING UP??

We confirm the statement has been filed at the Court****

Thanks in advance

It means they'll send a legal rep.

You've been very quiet for almost a year.

Some time ago your case will have been transferred to your local court and you will have been sent a Notice of Allocation.

The fact that you have now received the Claimant's Witness Statement and evidence suggests that your Witness Statement and evidence are now due.

Look again at your Notice of Allocation. The Notice that gives the hearing date.

Is there not a paragraph something like:

Each party must deliver to every other party and to the court office copies of all documents on which he intends to rely at the hearing no later than [ . . . ] [14 days before the hearing].

Might be on the back.

Those 'documents on which you intend to rely' are your Witness Statement and evidence.

That's just standard WS directions.

Nothing different there, and we already show you examples of WS bundles in the NEWBIES thread, including an a-f list of exhibits.

You have already submitted your defence surely and are about to write a witness statement; use one of the exemplars in the NEWBIE sticky second post.  Pick the one that most nearly fits your circumstances but CHECK for differences such as the PPC, location and the BPA/IPC.

This is just a small part of the Claimant's witness statement, I don't understand why they're mentioning that i'm using online help and does it matter that they deny my defence?

"The Claimant would like the Court to note that the Defendant is using, for the most part, a generic

defence which can be found on the internet. It is highly doubtful that the Defendant would

understand the complexities of all the references to the Civil Procedure Rules, the requirements in

the Act and in established case law, which is often the case when a Defendant is questioned about

such references at Court. Therefore, everything that the Defendant has outlined is not accepted

and denied by the Claimant."
