PS, the thing which worries me about doing a Costs Schedule is the messy issue of my situation, namely that I am not on a paid salary, I work for myself (and currently earning very little, no hourly rates that I can quote or prove). It's sure cost me a fortune in lost time and therefore, indirectly, earnings, but it's impossible to quantify it with a £ figure. I thought I may just have to forego LiP costs, other than travel, postage and anything I have receipts for. So when I saw £19 per hour rates for LIP costs, I wasn't sure if that was only if time taken off work, or just a flat rate for time spent on the case. I have spent many hours (perhaps 100, I will check my notes as I noted some of the time down) but I doubt I can claim for that. I will read some past cases to see if anyone else was self-employed without an hourly rate.Combatting the pandemic of BWLegal-19, one 'notice of discontinuance' at a time. :-)0

In yours shoes, go for the LiP rate in a BIG way then, but to get that you have to be able to demonstrate that the C has acted 'wholly unreasonably' which is a HIGH BAR to meet.

Thanks CM, I will do that. I need to read a few of those types of threads anyway to find out roughly what sort of hours people claim, and I am sure I have spent many more times as many hours than most, but then they did choose to sue ME didn't they, so it shouldn't matter but i am sure it does!Combatting the pandemic of BWLegal-19, one 'notice of discontinuance' at a time. :-)0

Bodmin might be better though. Hard to be sure, as the Judges might have sussed Premier Park by now at either of them, or might be clueless...PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Check with the ICO, get it from the horse's mouth.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

Am I right in thinking a DPA request should include all data they hold which "pertains to me", so that should include their letters/emails/phone recordings where I have even been discussed. I was hoping to see emails between BWL and PPC with fun stuff like "Let's go get him, see if he falls for this...."
Just wondered whether I should query that or whether they never do it or don't have to?
Look it up
Any discussion between a lawyer and their client that meets this definition you will never see, unless they decide to show it.0
