My Girlfriend is being taken to a small claim Court ..

 

My G/f was selling some puppies ... and agreed to hold a puppy for a person on receipt of a £300 deposit... this was agreed via email...

 

Unlass we did not receive any money and then sold the puppy to another buyer..

When the original buyer contact it us , we said we have not received any money and therefore have now sold the puppy to anther person.. We did offer her a different puppy but because it was female she refused

 

Now the original buyer claims we have a contact with her and is now pursuing costs and damages against us via small claim court ...

 

What defines whether a contact exists or not? i.e does she have a validate claim against us

was it a verbal agreement? if so it is her word against yours, if the verbal agreement required the buyer to lodge a deposit and they did not then they broke the agreement first, end of, tell them to get lost

 

Oops just read it was via email, but the premise is the same did she agree to pay a deposit?

I can't see how she can make the claim .. but she already sent the Claim court papers .. so going to have to defend it..

 

I mean if you really wanted the puppy.. you would think she would have done bank transfer or record deleviry or something .. instead of just saying she send a cheque in the post

What are the "Particulars of Claim". Anyone else think there is a [problem] here?

This really does sound like a [problem], if you can be precise exactly what does it say in the Particulars of Claim, or can you scan it (remove personal details) and post it up for us to see.

 

Which court has issued the claim, and on what date?

She said she sent it but we did not Receive anything ...

 

So why are you only being sued for costs rather than the deposit they claim they paid plus costs...?

 

Have to agree, this has [problem] written all over it...

it's been issued by Weymouth Magistrates' Court will try and scan the documents in over the weekend and post them. She must think just has a case as she spent £50 to purse the case though the courts..

sorry just can't see how ... we stated clearly receipt of a £300 deposit..

 

Just emailing saying posted a cheque isn't a receipt of deposit..

Don't speak to her yet, or email. This is now a matter for the County Court.

I see that she is saying that she has had to cancel the cheque, this could be seen as an admission that she acknowledges that you never received it. If you never received it, can she prove she sent it... Registered/Recorded post..? If she acknowledges that you never received it, it would be fair would it not to concur that you had the right to mitigate your loss, hence, sell the puppy to another buyer...

 

Good luck with this! :D

all she said was she will put the cheque in the post .. we never got it and certainly never sign any thing so doubt that she sent it either registed or recorded..

 

Will update this post as the case goes to court .. I just think she trying it on ...did say to my G/F counter claim .. but she just wants to draw a line under the whole thing.

 

Once we have replied to the court .. does it then go to a judge to decide to process with the case ?

I think its true to say that you wouldn't have recieved the deposit until the cheque had been paid into your bank and cleared. If it had cleared it would show up on their bank statement. Perhaps you need tp ask for proof that the cheque was paid as well as proof that it was received

Just a quick question .. as I said the case has been transfered to Hitchin Country court and they said us a questionaire to fill in ...

 

I would like to put ... I would like apply to have the claim struck out pursuant to CPR 3.4(2)(a) as there is no contact

 

does this sound OK ?

What do you mean by 'no contact'?

 

CPR 3.4(2)(a) allows a strike out on the grounds that a statment of case shows no reasonable ground for bringing or defending the case.

Sorry I see what you mean ..

....

I wish the court to review the case to see if it falls under CPR 3.4(2)(a)

 

CPR 3.4(2)(a) allows a strike out on the grounds that a statment of case shows no reasonable ground for bringing or defending the case.

....

does that sound OK ?

 

 

 

I have upload the case details .. I thought the lady was trying to reclaim all the money for another puppy but she trying to claim for £300 ...

 

I also pointed out to her on the 15 April that she was emailing me and not the girlfriend ..and that I would be out of the country for few days so she should contact my G/F direct by phone .. which she did not do ...

 

Lasty I think I pointed out .. we did offer her a alterative puppy at reduced cost .. but because it was female she refused ..
