Revised Particulars of Claim

[blondelady]

Please could anyone give me some help.

On Tuesday my Particulars of Claim were struck out for which I had to pay 8k costs.

The Judge believed I had a claim for negligence but that my POC was too short and did not explain in enough detail my reasons for negligence.

I would like to not proceed with the claim due to ill health but understand that this will incur large costs. Does anybody know how much that is likely to be and could they make me homeless?

I have started to write up a new set of Particulars but am finding it very difficult as it now seems very long winded!

I have attached the first six pages, could anyone advise me if I am on the right lines or how I can find out how I should be writing them up.

Thankyou.

£8k in costs ? Blimey ok - did the defendant apply to strike and what happened after that ?

The document you've started on is more like a witness statement than particulars of claim.

Yes the defendant applied to strike out which they won but I have got until 7.01.20 to submit new particulars.

Yes that is what I am worried about I can seem to find anywhere that will explain how I write the particulars of claim. I want to pull out but daren't even find out how much that will cost as I had to pay 8k.

Would it be possible to give me an example over one of the issues.

The first issue is that at a financial divorce hearing my barrister would not advise me of the details of the settlement. Without the details I could not make an informed decision as to whether to sign the order. As I could not make a decision she stated I lacked mental capacity and would need to undergo a psychological assessment if I did not sign the order. I suffered a freeze response and it was suffering this I signed the order!!
