Hi Andy

thanks for your reply

just to let you know

don't have the particulars of claim to hand

however the particulars of claim have already been sent to the court and the bundle of documents

therefore I am not sure what is the difference between a 'fully particularised particular of claims' and a 'particular of claims' solely

More detail...in  depth...they want a further statement of claim.

Hi Andy

thanks again well you're right as per post 29 as quickly as possible

however it does say as per the letter from the court that's if the fully particularised particular of claims is not received by 4 p.m. on the 12th of December the court has the right for the claim to be struck out

therefore the deadline has already been missed and the court should strike out the case

It does but they have acknowledged their mistake in their response and informed you as your unable to comply with the deadline....submit ASAP therefore they will not impose the dates.

they have accepted that it was sent out late and advised you to send it pronto with your reason as to whay it is late IN WRITING.

Now particularised POC, they want the whys  and  and also exactly what you are claiming in terms of cash and the legal reason for this,

Ie claiming £2000 for breach of contract, I employed bloggs and co to fit a new bathroom, they took £2000 in payment but failed to do any work contrary to the agreement between us dated the..

 

that sort of stuff

hi peeps,

 

hope everyone is staing safe in these uncertain times.

Just a quick update, that the court has now allocated a hearing date 20th July 2020.

 

another update is that the defendant did make no response to the amended p.o.c dated 19th December 2019.....what implications does that have on the defendant.

 

Not expecting to much results from the case necessarily as previously discussed on here. But would like others opinions re the lack of response from the defendant.

 

Kind Regards

and warm wishes

So the court Order dated 13 th Dec 2019 ordered that you the claimant submit a fully particularised particulars by 4.00pm the 12th Dec (court error) which you informed the court of and they were aware and obviously adjusted the time frame.

 

The defendant by 4.00pm 16th Dec 2019 must submit an amended defence that was CPR 16 complient.

 

An Hearing date was set for 4th Feb 2020 at 10.00am.

 

Did the hearing happen ? 

 

Why have you left it 3 months to update and ask advice ?

 

You could have done something about the non compliance if you had acted swiftly...but time has progressed now and the defendants non compliance will possibly be overlooked.

 

Given that your hearing date is now allocated and happening on the 20th July 2020 ...have you started work on the next stage...the courts directions ?

You could possibly raise the none compliance within your witness statement.

It is likely the defendant will not not turn up to the hearing as he has not bothered replying/ submitted a defence

Thanks for your response

You must still comply with the directions stated in your Notice of Allocation (N157)...its irrelevant whether the defendant complies or not.

hi there,

just a quick one

was wondering if recordings made in the presence of the defendant without their knowledge are admissible in the small claims court..

.I am getting the transcript and certified documents aposteeled ready for court...Just wondering whats peoples' thoughts on the matter are?

 

best wishes

I don't see why not. If you are a litigant in person and you are using the recording for personal use then it seems fine to me. Of course the court would prefer to have the transcript but you should have the recording there just in case.

Using the recording for "personal use" in my view, means anything which is not published. Certainly if you are using it to defend yourself in a court then I would say it is definitely okay. If you are producing the recording to show that the defendant said X – when in fact they are saying they didn't then it seems to me to be very reasonable to use a recording to show that they are actually not telling the truth.

I think it would be a good idea to want the defendant in advance that you have the recording and that you have the transcript and that in court you will be referring to the statement that "X X X was the case blah blah".

I think it's important to be as transparent as possible. I certainly don't think that you should ambush the defendant with this in court. In fact before the hearing I would make it clear on your skeleton argument that you have this transcript and that you will be relying on it – and you can then give the words which were spoken. Also, in the court bundle which you should provide ahead of the hearing, you should provide the transcript and make it clear that it is a transcript of a recording. If the defendant then goes on to deny that he or she said those words, then I think that you are entitled to ask to play the recording. However, you would have to ask the judge's permission. In my young be an idea to provide the defendant a copy of the recording ahead of time so they can consider their reply rather than walk into a trap. If the words that they said are sufficiently important then it might even bring an early end to the dispute because the defendant might realise that they will have to put their hands up.

You could of course refer to "the recording I made for my own notes" in your witness statement. If there is a discrepancy ebtween the recollections of what was said you could ask the judge if your could refer to the recording ... just listening to it yourself, and then say "the recording I made confirms my recollection".

The other side can then try and claim your recollection is wrong, or that the recording doesn't say that, but hopefully they (or the judge!) will ask for it to be played ..... bingo.

 

If the other side tries to prevent it being listened to (by you, them, or the court....), don't say a word ... whilst it then may not be admissible, it shouldn't influence the judge, but they are human... hard for them not to be swayed if it comes down to "who do they believe".
