Invictus -v- Lloyds - got directions appointment

[invictus]

Hiya,

 

DJ Hickinbottom at Keighley CC

 

ORDERED:

 

A/Q be dispensed with,

 

Case listed for directions appointment on xxx date at xxx time (in mid July) estimated time 20 minutes,

 

Hearing to take place by telephone conference (!!),

 

Defendant's legal team to arrange teleconference,

 

Please quote telephone number 01535 602803 when arranging your teleconference.

 

Court made order of it's own initiative. Can make app to set aside, vary or stay within 7 days of receipt.

 

Alloc fee may be payable, court will let you know.

 

 

 

So, my question is simple, what should I do next?

 

I'd love to ask the DJ to follow the example of the welsh District Judge and strike out the defense as an abuse of process or something like that. I just don't know what to expect of the directions hearing. Also this is not my claim, I'm helping out a friend who wants me to act and speak on her behalf.

 

Should I submit a request to court to allow me to represent her?

 

Also should I now put together my bundle and submit it? SC&M have submitted what I assume is a standard defense.

 

Cheers,

 

Invictus.

Hi

This link should help:

I copied this off another thread (thanks MB!):

"As a Lay Representative, you can present the case in court as long as the claimnat is also present.

Or as a Mackenzie Friend can be there to advise but not address the court yourself.

Your wife can mention this in the AQ or once you get a hearing date write a letter to the court.

In theory you don't need to give notice, merely inform the court usher on arrival at court. Permission is at the discretion of the judge, but usually granted"

Good luck, let us know how you get on.
