Hi My landlord is trying to evict me. She issued a section 21 which has expired. She then started the accelerated possession claim in a county court and I sent a defence back to that court. I have now received a letter from that court stating a hearing must take place in that court next month. My flat is in southern England - the court I am expected to attend is in northern England(where landlord lives)-200 miles away! I have since found this on the government website 55.11 (1) The claimant may bring a possession claim under this Section of this Part where – (a) the claim is brought under section 21 of the 1988 Act3 to recover possession of residential property let under an assured shorthold tenancy; and (b) subject to rule 55.12(2), all the conditions listed in rule 55.12(1) are satisfied. (2) The claim must be started in the county court for the district in which the property is situated. Surely the landlord should have filed the court papers in the court near my flat-it appears to be the law? And surely the judge should have realised this and either thrown out the claim or told the landlord to send the papers to a court near me. Surely I am not expected to travel 200 miles to attend this hearing? I am not entitled to legal aid but cannot afford a lawyer. Do you think I am entitled to write to the court and ask for the hearing to be cancelled and point out the clause in question? Is that allowed? Any advice or tips on where to get help welcome. Thanks
