I guess the HWF refers to Help With Fees, and therefore that they claimant may qualify for an exemption from having to pay court fees.

Thank you for your speedy response
So if I or my company lose I will pay the court fees of which I have no clue as to what they would be? So if that is the case this makes me wonder whether to even continue to defend as the claim value is only £400. Time spent and the cost of fees if by chance I were to lose. I have telephoned, texted, left voicemails, emailed and written to the claimant to ask if they would like to discuss to reach an early resolution without reply so I am unabl;e to pay even if I decided to!!!! I have sent the defence forms today along the lines of your good advice, also advising of my inability to contact the claimant so I will await the response. Thank you for your kindness.Comment
