KeytarVsAbbey STAYED but KeytarVsLloyds HEARING. Same Court, Same Date, Same Text.
Should I appeal the stay?
I submitted both claims on the same date this year at Croydon, and on the same day recieved letters ordering an indefinite stay in my claim against Abbey, and a hearing date for my claim against Lloyds.
I've heard it is £35 to apply for the stay to be lifted - should I try? The Lloyds claim is nearly identical (just different value and statements but same argument) and I have a hearing date to see if a stay should be ordered or if the case can proceed.
I thought the order was unfair because it makes it my responsibility to notify the court of the implications of the test case to get it going again:
QUOTED TEXT:
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
1 . The Claim be stayed until further order to await the decision in the test case, which shall be interpreted to include the outcome of any final appeal or the expiry of time for permission to appeal the first instance decision.
2. The Defendant shall within 28 days of the fianl decision in the test case file at Court and serve on the Claimant a case summary of not more than 500 words setting out the effect of the decision in the test case in relation to this particular claim and their proposed directions.
3. Upon filing of the documents set out in paragraph 2 above, the file be referred forthwith to a resident District Judge to consider directions.
so should I try to get the stay lifted - or could I try and get the order changed to a finite amount of time?
