    Okay I will sort this ASAP.

    Everything else look okay? Do you think that they admitted starting court proceedings early will be my strongest point?

    19. The request for information was finally received via email dated 11/11/18. Within this email it was admitted that they had failed to comply with the Pre-Action Protocol and made the following statement: “It has been noted that legal proceedings have been issued prematurely”. (Exhibit 13, page 21,22)

    That isn't a defence point, but it is a HUGE point to list ready for if you win, and want to have a good go at claiming costs ''on the indemnity basis due to wholly unreasonable and vexatious conduct'' (like sassii did - see NEWBIES thread re costs schedules). Sassii got 4 figures...

    As well as a very high costs schedule, setting out ALL your hours of research and work and reading laws and paperwork, at £19 per hour, plus your other costs and loss of salary/leave and travel to the court, set yourself out a crib sheet to argue that the Claimant's conduct of this claim has been wholly unreasonable pursuant to CPR 27.14, and that they should not have relief from sanctions.

    Set the issues out, blow by blow, about their conduct from start to finish. Not your defence, this is anything where they were unfair, late or premature, as regards the claim process. Failure to comply with the PAP and Practice Direction, such as issuing a premature claim, with woefully sparse particulars with no facts or cause of action, and/or serving a late WS if they did, or maybe trying to add papers on the day (if they try say NO!) are all matters that fulfil the test re CPR 27.14[1] as set out in the Green Book (Judges will know...).

    Taken all your points on board. I have a drafted cost schedule nearly ready and those points have been raised within that.



    I'll get my WS printed and filed today and make a start on the SA.



    Thanks again for the input!!

    I will be in court tomorrow morning at Dartford CC. I will obviously let everyone know how I get on.

    Any last words of advice?

    Also I don’t suppose anyone can find out whether there are other UKCPM cases going through court tomorrow??

    Thanks for all the help.

    Best of luck tomorrow.
    Any last words of advice?
    Do you have your cost schedule completed? Have you copied it to the court and to the Claimant's solicitors? If you win, don't forget to ask the Judge for your costs.
    Also I don’t suppose anyone can find out whether there are other UKCPM cases going through court tomorrow??
    It's not yet been updated for tomorrow's cases, but try this link later tonight, or tomorrow morning.

    Wonder if you are at the same court? You might want to pm that poster to ask.

    Thanks for all your help again. Case won on the bases of poor evidence again.

    Cost application once again refused on basis of not proving unreasonable behaviour.

    Just glad it’s all over with. How did everyone else get on today?

    Well done on the win.

    Surely you got basic costs awarded? (Travel to court/parking, half-day rate for time off work ~£50, etc.)
