New strategy for Allocation Questionnaires

[Nikki1234]

Hi,

 

I don't know whether anyone is still wanting to know which courts are ordering the requested directions?

 

If they are, Basingstoke County Court has just ordered my requested directions in two of my cases, so it's looking good here .

 

Shame I bottled on one of the cases just one week too early tho... lol

Hi All,

 

Just a quick note on our quest to get directions ordered. The District Judge in my area is quite 'directions friendly' and has taken on the directions in a couple of my cases now.

 

This time, he has ordered his own, this time just asking the only defendant to serve his documents - "full details of any facts or matters to be relied upon to show that each and every charge is reasonable and proportionate". Excellent - I think he must be getting fed up with them messing around as much as we are!

 

It has been very good timing, as this is the case most likely to actually get to court as the defendant involved is known for it (no names as they read this forum)

 

I suppose they could still try to set aside though...

 

Iceman1 - to your questions:

 

1. They've probably block-listed your hearings with others to save time and group 'like' cases together - nothing to worry about as far as I know. I'm sure someone will correct me if there's anything to worry about.

 

2. The £100 fee is for the Allocation Questionnaire (if your claim is over £1,500). Although the DJ has dispensed with the AQ itself, the fee is still payable. If your claim is over £1,500 you must still pay it or risk having your case thrown out. And yes you can reclaim it it you win as it comes under court costs.

Congratulations GaryH! Your perseverance is rewarded at last!

 

Also for anyone looking for the Australian Default Charges Report - I found it finally:

Australian Default Charges - Press Release Only

 

Hope this helps,
