Maybe they are trying to get the courts on side (or am I just cynical?)

You can read more about my claim in the 'Scotland' forum but I just wanted to share with you all the most ironic thing about the whole experience when I went to file my small claims action this morning!

There was a sign up in the Sherrif Clerk's office inviting all staff members of the court to a Royal Bank of Scotland icon

(bank I am claiming against) Branch Open Morning for coffee and wine and chat - cosy, eh? I don't think I'll be popular down my court!

Ah well

Paranoia is healthy, but it wouldn't surprise me if there was merit in your suspicions...they could add 'perverting the course of justice' to their long list of crimes...

I would imagine that there would be conflict of interest icon

issues if any of the court staff attending the function later had to work on a claim against the same bank.
I just don't trust the b*****s

It's disgusting isn't it?

Surely, that's tantamount to bribery?

...or blackmail. Supposing the court staff have overdrawn accounts...and they are threatened with closure if they work on reclaim cases...

I'm going to ask my BF about this, I'm sure that there is some type of law against it. Would be good to find out the legalities.

Just spoke to my BF (lawyer) and he said that anyone who has filed their claim there, can say they understand that the bank has laid on a corporate hospitality event for the court staff, and therefore 'in the interest icon

of justice' they want their case to be dealt with else where. Legally you are entitled to say/do this.
