Well its at the 'Allocation Questionnaire' stage now

from Jon S (jks_uk2001@yahoo.co.uk)
Hello All

I have just recieved the 'Allocation Questionnaire' from the County Courts. I have already 'Aknowlaged Service' and submitted my 'Defense and Counter claim'. This part is a bit daunting for the un-initiated the questionnaire is fill of questions like "how long do you expect the hearing to last", well as I have never attended a hearing before this is quite tricky ( could be 1/2 hour unless they have chocolate Hob Nobs and I can drag it out to 3 hours). But seriously this is a daunting form as I want to appear as professional as possible, and without the experience its tricky to fill in. The only saving grace is that I rang the opposing solicitors to try to settle before trial (read get them to drop the case) to be told that they had mislaid their copy of my defense !!!!!!!!!!!!!. Bit cruel but I had to have a wry smile at that one, I sugested that they gave the Courts a bell and asked for a copy (this was after I declined a request from them to fax a copy over to them. ha ha ha ha ). The almost pleasant lady on the phone informed me that "they had issued a summons" and "it will go all the way to court no matter what I said". I guess this means that they arn't rearly getting into the spirit of the game and trying to save time and court costs ( as CPR thinks it is supposed to work). Still I will keep you posted as to how its going, I hope that some people facing this situation will see that its not the end of the world to be summonsed. And to stand your ground whatever they throw at you.

See You

Jon S
