  1. court telephoned today (and yesterday) They have received nothing from Lord via email or post. They are happy to accept delivery of documents/particulars/evidence etc. by email.
  2. Ryanair had been banning some people for obtaining refunds. Thats totally unacceptable and unfair, but I thought I might mention that in case you wanted to travel with them in the near future. I believe they have now caved and adjusted this policy. It might be worth mentioning this to them. I've put some links below "Ryanair has promised to start refunding customers for cancelled flights within five working days, after criticism of its reimbursements policy during the pandemic." Ryanair to shake up refunds policy after pandemic criticism | Ryanair | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Airline, which even barred some people who sought redress, commits to refunds within five working days Ryanair bans passengers who got Covid chargeback refunds WWW.MONEYSAVINGEXPERT.COM Ryanair has barred some passengers who received 'chargeback' refunds for Covid-disrupted flights from travelling with the low-cost...
  3. Hello BankFodder, They have still not paid the costs awarded to me by the statutory demand I have been keeping a log of all the time I have spent thus far on the defence etc. I will begin compiling that into a spreadsheet in the categories you instructed In terms of the COVID isolation and delays by Lord. Matthew Moore is the groundworks "director" and James Moore is the roofing director. All my correspondence initially had been with James Moore (as he is also the main director of the company), however he has continuously bounced me between his brother (Matthew) and other people in his company On Friday 18th June 2021 I received an email (below) which was their explanation as to why there had been delays in hearing from them and action on addressing the workmanship issues I raised James Moore (Director)- "Matthew has been off since Monday self-isolating for his operation today. Richard Boucher from Tobermore will be attending the property on Monday/Tuesday. Regards (My addendum: This man never arrived) James" On 4th October 2021 after I sent an email with no response for some time, I received the following email. The explanation of COVID isolation James Moore (director)- "For the record, I have responded, and clearly advised that I need to complete a site visit. I will be bringing my Senior Groundworks Manager, Lee Woodward with me. Keeping in-line with government guidelines, and my illness, I was not prepared to potentially put my staff at risk until I had been cleared with a negative Covid-19 test." And now, 7th December 2021 I received the following application for a set aside, explaining it was due to COVID isolation "The claim was not replied to as the person dealing with it tested positive with covid. I have since taken on the roll (sic) and would like the process to start again so we can submit our side including email exchanges between outselves and the claimant. " Anything else do let me know. And thank you all on the site for your help!
  4. Hello Bankfodder Happy Christmas/Holidays I've been doing exactly as you have suggsted. I've got a serious of events in a ring binder with all the relevant parts easily accessible. From my experience with the set aside case the judges are not interested in waffle and want to just get straight to the point. I've still not heard anything yet from "Lord" If they do not submit anything is it worth us submitting something or will it get dismissed by default?
  5. The summary was the events leading up to this claim. The two claims are separate, but the series of events are similar. I put the summary to provide the context. This is the new thread focussing on the second claim (the larger value front driveway), hence the title "(Second Thread- Front Driveway Claim)" I hope that makes sense. I should have written "first claim commenced on 30th September 2021), and now second claim is to be prepared." I can't seem to edit the first post now. If you could help me do that it would be great. I was trying to provide context for this second claim rather than just diving straight into it.
  6. Brief Summary 12th March 2021 Contract signed for agreed work to be carried out. June 2021 Multiple delays to the work. Problems with subcontractors. Difficulties obtaining supplies and materials. Many attempts to try and ensure work progressed in a timely manner. Hostile communication from Lord Directors and employees /subcontractors 18th June 2021 Police informed due to threats by defendant (to remove all work and dig up paving) 28th June 2021 Defendant visited property and agreed that there were multiple issues and agreed that work was unacceptable and dangerous July 2021 More remedial work carried out. Issues still not addressed to acceptable standard. Defendant advised work now complete and payment required. Defendant refused to engage with dispute resolution. Defendant refused to address issues raised by Claimant. 23rd August 2021 Statutory Demand served by Westbury Collections Ltd- now set asude 10th September 2021 Letter Before Action sent to Defendant September 2021 Correspondence regarding rectifying issues and undertaking work under supervision of engineer who provided report. This was declined and time before court proceedings waived. 30th September 2021 Small Claims Court Proceedings initiated Claim for front driveway- Total £7888.00 Deposit paid-£1,577.60 Outstanding £6310.40 Quote for agreed work attached. Terms and conditions attached. Please let me know if you require more/less information or additional documents. I have everything available Thank you Redacted LORD Roofing and Grounds Works Front Drive.pdf Terms and Conditions page 1 and 2.pdf
  7. Sorry I missed that part in the reply. I've been compiling all the correspondence to make sure I dont make any mistakes with times, dates etc. I should have everything prepared tomorrow for the second claim and I will be available to proceed with everything immediately after the 28th. I'll create the new thread and upload all the relevant information etc. tomorrow. I'm not currently with my file of paperwork and documents so I want to make sure its all correct. Thank you all for your help and support
  8. They added contact details to the online claim on Thu, 18 Nov 2021, 13:12. I receive an email about this, but they did not contact the court or myself The last correspondence from them was 4th October 2021 which they (director) explained the delay for them not arranging a site visit (after engineer's recommendations) due to the director isolating due to COVID 19
  9. They are four separate documents each referring to something different. I would have thought it would be easier to refer to them them individually which is why I did it that way. Nevertheless, I've put them all into one PDF document. The quotes I have provided are email exchanges. What do you advise next? 12.12.21 Documents N244-judgement-set aside.pdf
  10. Friday 18th June 2021: Matthew has been off since Monday self-isolating for his operation today. Richard Boucher from Tobermore will be attending the property on Monday/Tuesday. Regards (My addendum: This man never arrived) James 4th October 2021: (My addendum: after a period of no contact) For the record, I have responded, and clearly advised that I need to complete a site visit. I will be bringing my Senior Groundworks Manager, Lee Woodward with me. Keeping in-line with government guidelines, and my illness, I was not prepared to potentially put my staff at risk until I had been cleared with a negative Covid-19 test. And now, 7th December 2021: The claim was not replied to as the person dealing with it tested positive with covid. I have sine taken on the roll (sic) and would like the process to start again so we can submit our side including email exchanges between outselves and the claimant. I had forgotten to mention the costs have been awarded for the statutory demand but I have not persued this. Is it worth my while? I've attached the judgement also. This is getting quite compliated now for me
  11. Since I last posted I have been making lots of progress. The company who was dealing witht he High Court Writ and enforcement went into administration and it was transferred to a new company. I decided to keep everything suspended as they informed me they had been in touch with LORD but they had not responded. I had a suspicion this would prompt them to act, which they have. THEY have filed the N244 form as I was holding off to see what they would do. They have applied to set aside the judgement. Their reasons "The claim was not replied to as the person dealing with it tested positive with covid. I have sine taken on the roll (sic) and would like the process to start again so we can submit our side including email exchanges between outselves and the claimant. The "Office Manager" is now dealing with the claim from now on it appears. The "General Form of Judgement or Order" states 1. List the application as a BTMM telephone hearing on the next available date after 35 days with a time estimate of 30 minutes 2.The Defendant (LORD) must by 4pm on 28th Deember 2021 file the evidence in support of the application including reasons for not responding to the claim and their Defence of the claim. 3. The claimant must by 4pm on 4th January 2022 file and serve on defendant any evidence he seeks to rely on 4. As this order has been made......parties have the right to have this order set aside varied or stayed. Must send, deliver application to the court within 7 days In summary, they are not seeking to challenge the order made. They have paid for the N244 and it is now going to a hearing. Is it worth now challenging this N244 to ensure the judgement stands just at the correct claim value? Or would it be better to just let it go to a hearing and present the evidence/facts there? As I predicted I fell they are going to use underhand tactics and lie/fabricate to make it look like I am the one in the wrong. I know they have lied about COVID. This is the second time they have used that excuse. Testing positive does not stop them from notifying me and the court (unless they were in intensive care) and they edited the claim online as I received a notification about it. I'm leaning towards sumbitting the full evidence to challenge the claim and letting it go to a hearing, along with mentioning my mistake in calculating the value. Also using this as an opportunity to add in the second claim if they would allow it, to try and get a judgement for the full amount (for front and rear patio), without having to create another claim.
  12. Hello, I did my own research and spoke with the court before taking any action. They have advised me the same as AndyOrch that I'm going to get the judgement amended I've also informed the bailiffs to suspend their enforcement. I'll keep you updated as to what happens. Thanks for the help. I'm going to run everything by the court to ensure I don't make any mistakes They have told me to fill in an N244 form. @Andyorch is this correct?
  13. Two invoices and two contracts A thought, can I not start a new claim for the remaining amount. State to the court that I have made an error and ask the two claims to be combined? Surely speaking to the court first as to possible solutions would be a good idea. Perhaps they can be understanding and come up with a solution?
