Trowbridge stayed my claim by mail today, due to be heared on 31st. It was on the courts own initiative after reading my file. I want to apply for it to be set aside, but I've got to raise the £35 first.

Goodnews, ammani.

Looks like the penny has begun to drop, at least in Maidstone.

Lancaster County Court

I received today from Lancaster County Court the following:

"It is ordered that this claim is stayed until further order with a view to awaiting the final decision in th etest case (which shall be interpreted as the outcome of any appeal or the expiry of time for permission to appeal in the first instance decision).

The Defendant shall within 28 days of the final decsion in the test case file at court and serve on the claimany:
a) a case summary of not more than 500 words setting out the effect of that decision;

b) their proposed directions in this claim.

Upon receipt of the documents set out at paragraph 2 of the order the file be refereed to a resident District Judge to consider further directions.

Either party may apply at any time, by application on notice in accordance with the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 Part 23, to lift the stay.

Because this order has been made by the Court without considering representations from the parties, the parties have the right to apply to have the order set aside, varied or stayed. A party wishing to make an application must send or deliver the application to the court (together with any appropriate fee) to arrive within seven days of service of this order."

I don't know if every case is being stayed but judging by the wording of the order (last paragraph) it would seem that it is very likely that all cases will be stayed.

My sisters case at BROMLEY County Court this morning was stayed by the judge until 31st March 2008. It was not automatic though. Doesn't appear that they are all being stayed, the representative tried everything to keep my sister from the court room because even though she had received a letter saying the Abbey were requesting stays, they had in fact not yet requested it. If you do not go into the court room, do they get an indefinite stay ??

Just received a "General Form of Judgement of Order" from DJ Wharton, Peterborough County Court stating " Upon reading the case papers IT IS ORDERED THAT The Claim be stayed pending the final determination of the Office of Fir Trading test case 2007 folio 1186. There be permission to apply to lift the stay on 2 day notice".

Where do I get the form to apply for the stay to be removed (and what ground should I use?)

Cheers,
Jez
