I did a later edit above, to include the word of the day*, so use this:

Given that it appears that this Claimant's conduct provides for no cause of action, and this is intentional and contumelious, the Claimant's claim must fail and the court is invited to strike it out. In the alternative, order under the Judge's own discretionary case management powers, a preliminary hearing to examine the following legal points:

*contumelious

Just a quick update,
I have recieved the Directions questionaire.
Tonight i have filled it in, following bargepole's instructions in the newbies section.

Big thanks to bargepole for taking the time to write such a clear explanation of how everything proceeds.

One question i have is regarding D1 on the questionaire

bargepole states the following:

"D1 = name of your local County Court – unless you are a Ltd company, the case files will be transferred there"

I am a limited company, is bargepole saying that the case files will be sent to myself ?
or if you are a limited company can you not ask for your local court to be used ?

Thanks

if you are a limited company can you not ask for your local court to be used ?

Sadly, it's the above.

You could propose and put a covering letter, suggesting a court accessible to both companies half way between, to avoid costs. Especially if halfway is an anti-PPC court like Manchester!

Ask us first, if you have a court in mind that you could get to and so could this company (look their main offices up; VCS are in Sheffield and you don't really want them on their home ground if you can avoid it, IMHO).

Showing once again that the law is an "as*-hole"

From what I understand, as a limited company, you would
go to their local court

Are they taking you to court as a limited company ?

Why not ask for your local court and see what happens?

There is a possibility that VCS may not notice and therefore not object.

Thanks Coupon-mad,
Tameside court was what i was going to put down, but manchester is also ok.
shefield is 30 miles away from tameside court, and 38 from manchester.
but both courts are 3 and 7 miles for myself.

"There is a possibility that VCS may not notice and therefore not object"

They will definately notice as i added a note that bargepole suggests,

"The Defendant opposes the Claimant’s request for special directions, and requests that the case be listed for an oral hearing at the defendant’s home court, pursuant to CPR 26.2A(3)”.

:wall: then went back and thought about the ltd company bit, lol

But everyone adds that note to their DQ, be they an individual or a company.
