Clearly the sunday tabloids will be gagging for your story and will all try to out bid each other for the exclusive rights to this huge front page story!

Think any newspapers would pay for that kinda story?, should be cheap about £150!!

You need to employ a PR man for this one, expect to recieve at least £250k for this earth shattering story.

And then there's the personal apperances and a possible book deal....

(so company would rather go to court than pay an extra 7p)

Which court deals with the case



If the case is for £15,000 or less, it can be started in any county court.


The court will then transfer the case automatically to the defendant’s nearest county court if:

• the case is defended, and
• the claim is for a fixed amount, and
• the defendant is an individual, not a company.

In other cases, either party can ask for the case to be transferred to another county court.

A contested court case

If a defence is entered, the case will progress to a hearing or trial at the defendant's local court. Unless an agreement is reached first a judge will decide the case.

Thank you Browntoa, you've just posted confirmation of what I posted earlier.

I do not believe this case has been delayed for one month because the company had a problem traveling to court.

This has (if anything) cast doubt on the whole case (thread) for me. It's fine the OP espousing on the virtues of their case, but this whole thing is beginning to approach the realms of fantasy/willful belief too much for me to take seriously.

I'm actually gutted that we have another month of this thread with no proper resolution.

what the hell are you talking about?, you said pretty much the same thing in the other thread and it was refuted.
Fantasy, fairytale??
if you honestly believe any company would take this sort of abuse without every word being true then it is you who are too deluded for belief.

oh and trust me there is no one more gutted than i am

I can't believe the detail and research that is going into this thread.........

Perhaps the judge is enjoying the thread so much, he or she decided to pospone thr trial for a little longer?
