Nope, you stated that CPR 13 has been revoked, without mentioning a specific part of it.

That specific defence could not be used in this case as a defence has been filed, but not accepted. The basis of an application however is a reason why the judgment has not and/or should not be paid. If the defendant makes an application saying the judgment notice was not received - even if it was sent to the correct address - it is most likely that the judgment would be set aside.

The reason that this part of the CPR has been revoked is - to the best of my knowledge - because of a recent case where the judge's in the Court of Appeal or House of Lords stated that as the documents had been sent to the last known address, that in itself was not sufficient reason to set aside the judgment. However the judge's can still exercise discretion as to the reasons for setting aside a judgment and have been known - so as not to prejudice against a party - to set aside judgment for such a reason.

Whilst the debtor would still have to pay the debt within a month to keep it off their record, it would cause the OP more hassle in dealing with the matter for which the OP is unlikely to recover costs. Furthermore, as JonCris is so in touch with the legal press he will be aware that judge's have been known to criticize the parties behaviour - such a criticism could cause troubles, so it is best to act 100% above board, or only below board where you can't get caught out.

JonCris: You have a habit of not reading my posts in their entirety and commenting immaturely and with snide remarks against the part of the posts that you do read. Please stop. If you have anything personal against me, take it up with me by PM - which has been mentioned in another thread, by Janet-M I believe - that you have not done till now. If you do I will be happy to argue as much as necessary, but there is no need to ruin other people's threads with your arguments with me - which I will feel compelled to respond to.

The irony here is that you were the one who recommended the Stat Demand, so you are now agreeing with me and recommending against it? Thanks for the compliments.

I was saying that where there is a risk of being caught out, don't do it. Only do anything not completely above board if there is no risk as such of it backfiring on you.

JonCris: I am sure you're not 100% innocent and have done something on the odd occasion that was not entirely honest. Either that or you're a saint The only difference is I admit it when prompted.

Me being snide. Irony I don't think you know the meaning of the word

Did you or did you not advise a member to lie to an employer in a criminal matter which would have meant attempting to pervert the course of justice??

I've just read you latest post.

No I have never suggested to a client that they lie to further their ends. Nor would I knowingly suborn perjury & take great exception to you implying otherwise.

In addition anyone in the legal profession advocating such a course of action would & should struck off.

Lie to an employer? You're confusing posts.

Read the posts and if you have criticism don't ruin other posters threads with it.

I am not a Solicitor and have never claimed to be.

I never spoke about advising clients, and this is the first you have mentioned of "clients".

I highly doubt you have never lied or told a white lie, in fact I would find it impossible to believe if you claimed to have never lied or told a white lie.

I would also find it very difficult to believe that you have never ever [in your whole life] told somebody privately to make up an excuse.

Now can we please get the thread back on topic? If you have a personal problem with me then please PM me otherwise leave it alone for the sake of the OP.

Thanks for all your posts.

The enforcement worked and I received all monies due (save for £1 - pathetic but I guess he'd been here before...). C

Cheque banked. One happy customer.

Thanks again.

Case closed!
