Ok, thanks for your replies. Regards

The notes at the bottom of the form imply I must attend or default the case. Surely they would advise it was just an adjurnment hearing, and not require all the origional docs?

Southport County Court, November

It does add - "original documents shall be brought to the hearing"

No, just "The hearing will take place date and time and address. ....and should take no longer than 10 minutes"

As I said,'small claims track (Hearing)' 'allocation questionnaires dispensed with'

Hi, I am pursuing £4400 from HSBC, I turned down a £2900 offer. Their offer and my court action over lapped and HSBC now say they will talk only through their solicitor. I have today been advised by cout of hearing date through small claims track. Questionair dispenced with, hearing scheduled for 10minutes. HSBC defence seems standard- their charges reasonable- I knew about them at start of our relationship 20plus years ago. What should I make of the 10 minute time estimate? Of the questionair dispensed with? Not yet having any further contact with Solicitors?

well done
