    I'm due for my hearing in the coming days (it was pushed back) Any final advice or tips? I looked at the othersides witness statement. They seem to be relying on the fact that the date on one of the letters means that must be the date it was received even though it was only forwarded to me 6 months later.

    Is this your CCJ set aside hearing you paid for?  Or are you defending a claim and don't have a CCJ?

    Search the forum for CCJ VCS v Carr and know your stuff. Look at recent posts since June, only.

    OUTCOME - SET ASIDE > GOING TO SMALL CLAIMS.

    A thoroughly unenjoyable experience. Judge took an active dislike to me instantly and started the interaction asking what AI i used inmy witness statement and then proceeded to tell me rule number 1 is to not !!!!!! the judge. He cut me off after 3 seconds everytime he asked a question so the whole hearing was essentially me being dictated to. He also said, 'i'm not sure why you've included all this case law here because we don't look at that'. Shut me down the second I mentioned VCS vs CARR.

    Basically I think a last minute change of heart occured because I was so flustered and probably looked like I was about to cry, he set it aside (didnt give a reason) and then said 'be happy you've won' Then said to expect a letter for a date at small claims. Really unsure how to feel about the whole experience and annoyed costs aren't covered as it just shows another flaw in our justice system that these companies can try it risk free essentially.

    Thanks for all the help regardless and on to the next hearing.

    Walsall County Court. My barrister friend assured me this was a bad experience and was just super unlucky with the judge. Guess it is what it is. SET ASIDE still granted but ye still unsure how to feel!
