You mean when the judge orders a stay pending settlement?
The spreadsheet's designed to go along with the application to remove a stay, as detailed in this post:

(thinking on, I'll add a link into the first post here.... )

Thanks for the kind comments btw folks, didn't want you thinking I was being ignorant

Mcuth, just a thought but it would be really helpful to myself to add an extra column to say what type of interest th case has been settled with.

ie Statuary, Authorised O/Draft Contractual, UnAuthorised Contractual.

Just a thought what do you think ?

I'm afraid that'd be impossible to state unless people started reporting it in their litigation posts, sorry. Besides, previous claims being settled outside court with Contractual Interest (authorised or unauthorised) wouldn't have any impact on future claims being settled on the same basis.

I was thinking along the same lines, if people start stating if they won with Contractual interest, it may help others that are going for contractual interest.

I was thinking along ther lines of the Lincoln judge where he said they were abusing the court system

Absolutely you can use this list of claims for something like that - abuse of process, where it's clear that the banks are using the court system as a "delaying tactic", etc... and showing that they've settled X cases without intending to step into a courtroom to defend them

The only way I could see it helping is from a morale point of view to other CAG members.
As far as the courts are concerned, when a case is settled out of court, it's just that - a settled case - and the court isn't concerned about the arguments used within the case. Now, if there was a case actually heard and won, then there would be a reason to bring the detail of that case before the court.

Yes, the xls file is an Excel document - if you don't have Excel (or a version of OpenOffice that can read Excel2002 files), then you won't be able to view it unless you have Microsoft's Excel Viewer installed.

As for the .doc file, it is not an actual Word document - it's just the Excel file renamed. As I wrote in the first post:

"lit settled.doc - the spreadsheet renamed - if you haven't got any "zip" software, just save this to disk and rename it to lit settled.xls

The forum software doesn't allow me to upload an Excel file (or at least, a filename with a .xls extension), so I simply changed the extension to .doc so it could be uploaded. This way, those that might not have any unzipping software to extract the spreadsheet from the zip file, can just save the file to disk and rename it. I'll make this a little clearer in the first post of this thread.

Excellent! I have a feeling this spreadsheet will come in handy. 2 days left til my 14 days are up since I sent Lloyds my lba...

Hmm, not sure about just how helpful that would be since the courts only have to look up the case number on their computer, and we're simply providing an indication of how many cases that the bank has settled.

Remember that the spreadsheet is simply data taken from the Litigation Concluded forum, and it's hard enough getting people to a) report the date that the case was issued, and b) PM a mod with their case details for inclusion in the first place! (I believe that the number of cases from the Litigation Concluded forum is only a fraction of the total number that actually get issued)

Possibly show the court that the banks are meerly abusing the court service in order ro "scare" people off claiming. I'm sure, as you's are also aware, there will be many who only have a few charges and simply don't justify the time and expense to recover them, considering the fact that applying for costs is generally speaking a no-no.

Indeed, you could use it in support of a request for costs - you're probably better off looking at this thread though, I know it's Lloyds, but it's a claim for costs based on the bank's unreasonable behaviour
