Find out here if your local court is staying claims

[lovejoyviii]

st helens cc judge sat our case and heard my objection to the stay and said basically unless the claimant had 2 months to live he was going to stay all cases.Does this mean that we've a good chance of losing our cases.Can't see OFT having financial backing equal to the banks.

[ICY]

been away for a few days will get onto updated the list shortly this afternoon, as it look quite out of date

[**Tilly**]

have just spoken to banbury county court all cases being looked at on an individual basis

[Richl812]

Just spoken to Peterborough County Court and they have advised the courts are AUTOMATICALLY staying claims on descent. The banks no longer have to apply.

There is a ruling they send out to you advising the reasons, but more worringly if you apply for the stay to be lifted you acknowledge the court may apply costs against you.

Peterborough believe this is now happening at the majority of courts across the country and recommend you check with your local court before applying for a stay to be lifted.

Charges are applied for exactly that reason, and therefore there is no need for the Court to wait for the OFT test case (versus the High Street banks, and NOT the credit card companies) to decide if the UTCCR's apply to credit card claims. I would, therefore, be VERY interested to to know why the Judge at Chesterfield has decided to stay these claims. As I've said elsewhere, some Judges seem to give the consumer a very 'raw deal'!

All the best - Adam.

You're right of course. My sister telephoned me when the clerk told her the claim would be stayed, I told her to enquire why, as the OFT case has no relevance to credit card claims. The clerk went away to ask and came back with the answer that the judge is staying all claims regardless.

The probable answer is that the courts have never seen so many cases since the whole bank charges thing exploded, we've been a major pain in the *rse and a blanket stay is a simple way to avoid it all.

What really gets my goat, as it were, is that the judiciary should NOT have the right to unilaterally take action, outside of their remit, that can seriously adversely affect the financial well-being of many people, just because the Judge and the Court have a heavy workload. It is an apallingly bad reflection on our legal system. The 'powers that be' should be ashamed of it!

Best regards - Adam.

District Judge assessing each claim on individual basis!

Is that a good thing? With this advice, can anyone tell me if this (Central London County Court) would be a good place for me to file my N1 claim??

Thanks..

[beetlejuice]

Get it in!!

You need to look at your Local Court though, as any claim is likely to be transferred there anyway - I can't see a Court dealing with a Claim outside of it's Jurisdiction area? (I could be wrong!)

I live in C London, so I think that it is my closest County Court anyways..

Just want to know if given the information provided from the poster quoted in my above post, its a good place to file my N1?

He said that it "isn't" staying bank/CC claims.. Is that a good thing then?

[car2403]

Looks like it, but they will be assessing individual claims on their own merits so you may still be stayed anyway...

[Yyates]

Brilliant thread. My local court is in the un decided section so should i just go ahead and file at my local court or should I just wait it out?

[ICY]

Just updated the list, have to say though, can we please try to keep this thread just for updating the latest news from your court it makes updating much easier.

Thanks
