Dear Martin, Thank you so much for your reply and for the link to the Ministry of Justice page (I NEVER would have found that). I am wondering whether I need to include my additional item in the 'Brief Details of Claim' on the front page of the Claim Form document, which is where I have listed 'bad workmanship' as being the main thrust of my Claim, as this new piece of information basically boils down to mis-selling (in my opinion), instead of putting it in the 'Particulars of Claim' section which is where I have referred to, and obviously attached, my detailed letters to the company concerned and the timeline to the way they dealt (or failed to deal) with my correspondence? I do hope you can follow where I'm coming from with my ramblings and are able to advise me (once again!) Many thanks, Nettie31 Am I correct in thinking that in effect it's a bit like starting all over again i.e. I have to fill out the whole Claim again, with additions in red, together with Form N244 and any expert statement I pay for and then send 3 copies and Court fee off?

Advice please: I have already submitted a Claim to the Small Claims Court and am awaiting a Hearing date, but something has come to light that I need to add to my case, which is even more serious than my initial Claim. I may need to pay to have an independent report carried out as the matter now involves an item which was supposed to be brand new that I am now fairly certain is in fact my original item which has in effect been sold back to me as 'new'. I tried to explain the above and seek guidance over the phone with the Court and they mentioned Form N244 but having looked at it, I'm not sure whether all of it is relevant i.e. questions about the amount of time the hearing will take?? I'd very much appreciate clarification on the correct procedure - I'm trying to bring this matter to Court without using a solicitor but am finding it quite difficult - nothing on HM Court website seems to be in common English! Thank you in anticipation.
