Advice Needed to Add More Claimants to Claim

[LiverpoolDixie]

I am using Money Claim Online to seek statutory compensation from easyjet for cancelled flights.

 

In error I only listed myself as the claimant, where as there are also 5 other family members also claiming.

 

EasyJets solicitors have objected. How do I add the other persons to the claim?

 

Many thanks

...so I imagine it would be on an N244 application notice with a fee payable of £75

Thanks for the info - much appreciated - - can anyone tell me if I can have an hearing put back easily if I want more time to gather evidence?
