court ordered claim cancelled

[Hedgehog]

Out of interest... was is Glos cc?

[Joa]

The bank in question is Lloyds. The solicitors have most probably received my letter before the stay order as it went to them on Monday by Recorded Delivery. So the offer was accepted before the court order. Logic, huh?

I don't want to clog up BF's inbox- I hope he monitors this thread. I have 7 days from 4th of July to object to this order. Bugger.

Which court was the case being dealt with by?

[Joa]

Uxbridge County Court, Judge Banks (Spot the irony)

[Seminole]

Is the wording of the stay the same as the other ones?

[Joa]

" The claim is stayed pending the determination of the Elliot v Lloyds TSB 6UB01701 currently pending in the London Mercantile Court, in which similar or the same issues appear to arise."

 

Seminole; any idea re; does it affect me if my claim seem to be already settled or can the settlement be voided following this order?

[skyrocket123]

Can I ask is it a very big claim? I'm worried now, thought it was just Glos.

I'm afraid that I don't know the answer to that but hopefully we will be able to advise.

Do you want to apply to remove the stay?

The amount claimed was £3700 plus court costs and one extra charge which took place after the claim was issued. Total £4035.

Yhm

How long was it since you filed the claim? I just wonder at what stage the stay was put in place? I know you had had an offer of settlement but after the claim was issued how long? Just can't understand how the courts can keep accepting claims then putting them on stay. Also if your claim is put on stay are the banks not even more likely to settle so it doesn't go to mercantile court and become the test case?

I find this very odd, jifjaf joined today so we have no idea why he was sueing Clydesdale Financial Services or what he had wrote on the claim form.

 

Could this possibly be somebody trying to throw a cat amonst the pigeons. Surely if there were a test case somebody would have sniffed it out by now. I know that when I studied law you could read about pending high profile test cases. I think I'll spend some time looking out for this.

[Joa]

It's not my case which is in Mercantile; it's someone's called Elliot, bless his/hers socks.

The claim was put in on 2nd of May and Lloyds' solicitors dragged it to the very last minute of every deadline.

 

Angelface; I wish, honestly. Unfortunately it is not a tease or a prank.

[Seminole]

So had you submitted an allocation questionnaire already? Had you been given a court date?

[Joa]

Yep, the AQ was submitted about 3 weeks ago whilst the solicitors submitted on a very last day of the time frame. But no court date arrived- instead the stay order came through today.

sorry, I did realise that it wasn't your case. It's just that I hadn't heard about it going to court. Hopefully the court will make a sensible ruling and one that favours all us poor people. good luck

I' have sent you an email which is receiving an out of office reply

[Joa]

It's sorted now.

[skyrocket123]

what happens if a case is put on stay with regards to a settlement? Is it possible still to withdraw the case if you are offered a settlement or are you 'stuck'? Would the banks be more likely still to offer a settlent if your case is put on stay to keep it from mercantile court or less likely because the case is 'frozen'?

[thunderpuss2k]

OK, another question.. and scuse me for sounding stupid, but..

 

What is a mercantile court, and how does it fit in the grand scheme of things when it comes to the court system in this country?

[Joa]

thunderpuss- that was discussed a little bit earlier in this thread- so if you go back, you are bound to find out.

Thanks, must admit it's hard to keep track of so many threads on here sometimes. Still none the wiser how the Elliot vs Lloyds TSB case managed to get to the Mercantile Court, but I suppose it's time for some reading up on the subject and see what I can learn.

[spartagates]

so thats 3 stays out of how many hundreds (or possibly thousands) of claims? Admittadly, a little bit to reflect on, but no burst of the dam as of yet. The only factor that matters is who is "elliot" and how far the TSB lets the claim go. Do they have enough support? What is the detail of the claim?
