typo in court judgement - numerical v wording

[carmichael]

Hi all,

I have received a court judgement which basically says this.

1. I need to pay claimant (landlord) a sum of £6500 by 4pm 12th of Jan.

2. Claimant to pay me deposit of £1980 plus 2 times deposit (£4960) by 4pm 12th of Jan.

before I come to my question, note the typo in 2) above - for two times 1980 is 3960 but courts had a typo and says 4960.

so my questions are

a) which version of the judgement is enforced ? wording of 'two times deposit' or the numerical value?

b) depending on the version, it is me who owes landlord (if numerical) or I owe him (if wording) - so do we pay the difference?

c) Does the above judgment mean I already got a CCJ?

d) what happens if no payment is received by each party by the date? (I don't think landlord will pay)

Thanks

If you can, agree a net sum you will pay the claimant. The arithmetic error is obvious and should be corrected.

Pay asap, and notify the court that you have paid in full. You want to avoid an unsatisfied judgment being registered against you.

thanks for the reply atticus

The problem is I got an unreasonable, difficult to deal with claimant, who insists I make the full payment, but he would not pay his share either..so I do not want to overpay him as getting money from his is going to be very difficult.

Also, the funny thing is if going by numerical value, it is he who owes me money!, but I am happy to recognise the obvious error and pay him the difference.

is it by one month from the date of hearing or 12th of Jan (date by which the judgement said it should be paid by) that courts inform Registry of Fines of the unsatisfied judgement ?

or is it, in-fact it is already registered in Registry of Fines and can be removed if settled within a month via N443

I have looked at N443 form, it mentions that I need to send proof the 'full' payment is done. so, I worry, even if I pay the difference, courts may not make the amendment.

any advice you may have for me is much appreciated..

thanks
