    Default Mercantile Court - What is this????

    Hi,
    Just recieved the following letter.

    The Judge sitting at the Courthouse considered the papers in the case and ordered that
    1) The claim is transfered to the Mercantile Court.
    2) The claims are reserved for all purposes to His Honour Judge ______.
    3) because this order has been made by the court without considering representation from the parties, the parties have the right to apply to have the order set asideicon, varied or stayed. A party wishing to make an application must send or deliver the application to the courts (together with any appropriate fee) to arrive within 7 days of service of the order.

    What is Mercantile Court??. What must we do now?, apart from panick!!!!!

    any advice please!

    Hi, I wasn't sure so i googled it! this is what i got, never heard of that b4!
    SCOPE OF THIS PART AND INTERPRETATION 59.1 (1) This Part applies to claims in Mercantile Courts.
    (2) A claim may only be started in a Mercantile Court if it ---
    (a) relates to a commercial or business matter in a broad sense; and
    (b) is not required to proceed in the Chancery Division or in another specialist list.
    (3) In this Part and its practice direction ---
    (a) 'Mercantile Court' means a specialist list established within the courts listed in the Practice Direction;
    (b) 'mercantile claim' means a claim proceeding in a Mercantile Court; and
    (c) 'Mercantile judge' means a judge authorised to sit in a Mercantile Court.



    I guess it just means that because its a business thing you need a specialist?? Maybe?? I dunno?

    Unhappy Re: Mercantile Court - What is this????

    Thanks Bong,

    Read a few of the threads on http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...t-cases-stays/

    Ever had that feeling "WHY US?"???? we are only mere mortals with 4 kids and a bump.

    I am going to try and argue that our case should be heard in the county courticon. We are not Big Business our total claim is for 4.5k. We cannot afford the big court.

    Will HSBCicon be as worried as us?
