Lending money to a friend.

[Consumer dude]

Been quietly collecting paperwork, will update soon..

[Consumer dude]

After I present all relevant papers to the court and the defendant and we end up in court, is this in open court or behind closed doors Any ideas ?

[AndyOrch]

Open County Court.

[Consumer dude]

Would I weaken my case in any way by sending a letter to the defendant even at this stage giving him a final opportunity to settle before the court date or would it be just seen as making a last attempt to save every bodies time, including the courts. Any opinion is welcome..

[AndyOrch]

I personally wouldn't bother(hes had 17 pages of your thread to pay) ....if you have a strong claim then you will be in and out in 15 mins.

[Consumer dude]

I need some help on the following. In the following directions which states that all copies of all documents on which that party intends to rely on need to be sent to the other party and the court before the hearing.

 

In the issue of bank transactions, how would one do this without showing other transactions on statement pages that have no relevance to the case..

[SabreSheep]

unless they are damming I would just highlight the relevent transactions. Noone is going to be interested in the adult toys or movies you purchased

Lol..

[Consumer dude]

Its done, sent to the court and sent to the defendant..

[Consumer dude]

In the absence of anyone signing for a special delivery, when is that special delivery legally deemed served..

[Consumer dude]

Both have been delivered. I have sent copies both to the court and the defendant documents that I seek to rely on, does the defendant need to do the same ?

[AndyOrch]

Yes and submit a witness statement if the directions requested both parties to prepare one.

[billybobynumeroduo]

If it was notarized or witnessed. There may be some legality if you and he both signed it, but im not too clued up in that regard. Thats why it is always a good idea to get independent witnesses to sign and view it if its a large amount of money, or get a solicitor to agree it.

 

Is this a public notary who does the notarising and if so how much does it cost?

 

Thanks

[Consumer dude]

Won..

[citizenB]

Excellent.. are you going to tell us a bit more ?

[Consumer dude]

The defendant didnt turn up, I had all the evidence which i had presented in advance, i was in and out in a very short space of time. I took nothing for granted though. Just waiting for the paper work that confirms the court order. Such a relief..

[AndyOrch]

Thats the easy part now you have to get payment.

Is there a period of time before i can apply for judgement and i guess there is a particular court form for that..

Also, is there a time limit to do so..

[AndyOrch]

N225....submit it now

[Consumer dude]

[Consumer dude]

N225....submit it now

Thought i had to allow 14 days to request for judgement, other thing, is there a time limit to do so ?

[AndyOrch]

If you already have judgment then you dont need to request it....what do you wish to do now ? execute it?

[Consumer dude]

I got confused there, the court has found in my favour, so i have the judgement, I have recieved the order to confirm that with the amount, so now i need to enforce it, is that correct ?

[AndyOrch]

You can only enforce it after the period allowed for them to pay it...what date did you get judgment ? and was it forthwith ? normally the defendant has 28 days to pay.

The order stated that the amount was due, no mention was made of when I could enforce it..
