    Default My Girlfriend V lloyds TSB Case

    Hi all not posted for a while, since I did my own Lloydsicon TSB account. Which was successful.

    I have been processing a claim on behalf of my girlfriend and her Lloyds TSB account. A date has been set for the claim to be heard at Birmingham county courticon.

    The main question I have is whether I can also be present in court or even represent her? As she is quite a shy person.

    Does anyone also know, have Lloyds changed solicitiors? When I put my claim through it was Martineau Johnson and my girlfriend's claim is being defended by Sechiari Clark and Mitchell.

    1. They will almost certainly settle before court
    2. You can be present. Small claims are public hearings. You can represent her in court as a lay representative or be a 'Mackenzie friend' who can be present to advise her but not actually address the court
    3. SCM are now Lloydsicon solicitors.

    Is this the same as a "litigation friend"?

    This is a phrase I have just seen on the notes of the N149 allocation questionnaireicon referring to the signatory.

    A lay representative is anyone other than a barrister or lawyer.

    A litigation friend is someone representing a child or patient

    Mackenzie friend can only advise the claimant, not represent them
