County court claim form received re civil enforcement ltd

[Australia]

Hi I have received court papers relating to an incident date of 1.12.12 with no details whatsoever from county court business centre. The claimant is civil enforcement Ltd. I have absolutely no knowledge of any incident and the address shown on the form is not my current address. I have no idea to what this refers and haven't had any previous correspondence. We are also currently out of the country with a 12 hour time difference which makes things more difficult. I have acknowledged service online which I understand is the correct thing to do but need help now as to 'what do I do. Please help. Thank you

Hi Australia to LB xx

CEL are for pcn/parking tickets, so I'll give [MENTION=5354]mystery1[/MENTION] a shout for you (he's our parking 'guru' ) and move your thread to the right section of the forum :nod:

Is there any chance you can post up a redacted copy of the claim form? Or email it to me (see my signature) with a link to your thread??

The company seems to be rogue and just trying it on. Look at this: http://legalbeagles.info/forums/show...cement-Limited. Tell the company you would like to appeal their decision.

Re: County court claim form received re civil enforcement ltd

I did file an acknowledgement of service after receiving the court papers - is this what you are referring to?? Or is there omething else I should be doing at the stage. I tried to access the www.moneyclaim.gov.uk. today but without any success even though registered and have a copy of my acknowledgement of service. I have emailed them for help due to not being able to telephone from australia during their working hours.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I write to you to enquire about Mr Michael David Schwartz #118966 who was/is subject to control of practice as per http://www.sra.org.uk/consumers/soli...ticle?decision

It is my understanding that "Mr Schwartz shall act as a solicitor only in employment, the arrangements for which have been approved by the SRA."

As he is lodging claim forms with the courts, i would like to enquire if any arrangements are in place to allow him to do so ?

Yours Sincerely


I had the following reply but ideally you want your own in case the judge wishes to see it.

Thank you for your email of 22 February 2016.


Mr Michael David Schwartz (SRA number 118966) was admitted to the roll of solicitors of England and Wales on 15 March 1979 and holds a current practising certificate with the following conditions: Mr Michael David Schwartz's current practising certificate has been made subject to the following conditions pursuant to Regulation 7 of the SRA Practising Regulations 2011:

Mr Schwartz shall act as a solicitor only in employment, the arrangements for which have been approved by the SRA.
Mr Schwartz is not to be a recognised sole practitioner, manager or owner of an authorised body.
Mr Schwartz shall not hold, receive or have access to client money, or act as a signatory to any client or office account, or have the power to authorise payments in or out of any client or office account or any transfers from any client or office account.
Mr Schwartz shall immediately inform any actual or prospective employer of these conditions and the reasons for them.
In these conditions the definitions are as defined in the SRA Handbook Glossary 2012.

Reasons/basis

On 24 November 2014 the SRA raised the following allegations against Mr Schwartz:

Whilst he was employed as a consultant by "The Sethi Partnership Solicitors" from 20 December 2012 to 1 July 2013 he failed to pay client money received on account of costs into the firm's client account in breach of Rule 14.1 of the SRA Accounts Rules 2011 and in breach of SRA Principles 2, 4, 5, 6 and 10.
On 24 July 2013 Mr Schwartz was arrested and subsequently charged with an offence of causing the transmission of an image/sound from prison contrary to Section 40 of the Prison Act 1952. Although he was subsequently acquitted, he failed to notify the SRA of his arrest and charge at the time in breach of Outcome 10.3 and SRA Principle 7. In view of the above and other suspected misconduct, including trading as an authorised sole practitioner in or around 2012, the above conditions have been imposed on Mr Schwartz's current practising certificate.
The above conditions are considered to be necessary in the public interest and reasonable and proportionate having regard to the purposes set out in Regulation 7 of the SRA Practising Regulations 2011 and the regulatory objectives and principles governing regulatory activities as contained in section 28 of the Legal Services Act 2007..


There are Findings and Orders that have been made by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT) against Michael David Schwartz. Please call the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal on 0207 329 4808 for more information.

Please note that if a matter is due to be heard before the SDT, details can be found on our website at www.sra.org.uk/consumers/solicitor-check.page. If this is the case, we are unable to discuss the matter with you.

Our records indicate that Mr Schwartz is not currently practising. If this is incorrect, you may wish to report Mr Schwartz to us by following the report form process detailed in our previous correspondence.
