Talk about major oversight!!!!! Abbey has actually admitted that their charges are "ulawful" so thats a line to be quoted in the appeal for sure. I wonder what the moderators on CAG have to say about that. Over to you. Best can think of so far is when appeal (another cost incurred in the name of justice) form is sent, you hope for a another allocation. 50/50 given there are only 2 judges (capital J or otherwise). Progress is slow and as youve discovered, so is justice. Bet the Abbey solicitor already had her coke and is grinning from ear to ear but at least we know the grin cant go beyond the ear. Still doing my Sherlock Holmes re complaint/appeal so will keep in touch. in meantime, check the wording of that letter . Sherlock awayyyyyy

hi A-dust!! dorisdave here!!!!!! Unless i am grossly mistaken, did the letter from SHHHHHHHH(say it loud)AAAAAAABBBBBBBYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEE actually say "although we believe the charges to be fair, clear and UNLAWFUL"!!!!!???? or just your take on the letter?? Re-training is the key to the Judges behaviour. thats what i say. People skills go a long way and some people either have it or they aint. Ill be there for you next time. Check out the Lord chancellors dept. You may just find the needle in the haystack. x

Just had case against Abbey stayed even though the presiding judge was the one who gave certain directions in July, none of which were followed by Abbey The Abbey rep had no knowledge of the same Judge's previous directions. When we tried to outline the grounds under which we objected to the stay including that other courts are refusing stays and that Abbey had ignored all previous directions such as filing a reply to our skeleton argument. The J disagreed and informed us that charges on the account go back to 2000 and weve only started proceedings in 2007!!!!! so money/hardship is not the issue. And thats after trying to explain tht Abbey filed a defence, ignored court directions etc etc etc. Still going to object in writing as soon as receive J's further directions in about 10-14 days. aaaaaaaaaagggggghhhhhhh!!!!!! The smug look on Abbey rep's face was quite a contrast to the terrified look when he realised that Abbey had failed to file reply. Even the visit to the toillet immediately after did not cheer him up. So talk about the J handing it to Abbey on a plate. So much for fairness and justice. The fight goes on. Any similar experiences? Any suggestions?
