Thanks both of you, very much. So following M1s advise it should all fall apart quickly and be out in time for high tea. If not then i need to push the dodgy dealings. lol, pretty much
Will the judge be mindful that i am a LIP and not up on legalese etc? hopefully, usually they talk in sensible plain english anyway
How do we sit? depends on the court but usually U shape of tables with Judge at head and opponents on either side, else judge on table at top and litigants facing him at separate desks. Its more like a meeting room than a criminal court room, again depends on which court you are at. Mine reminded me of a dentists waiting room lol. Don't worry the court ushers will guide you.
Is it respectful, or will it turn ugly from their bod? Doesn't tend to be any cross examination, just put your cases to the judge and he/she asks questions. Judges tend to rely on the 'professionals' far too much and let them speak first to lay out their case. Stand up when they enter the room if they aren't already in there when you go in and be guided by the Judge and if you feel the need to interupt then be polite and try not to get cross.
I do wonder if lowells sent the evidence to the judge and just not me? they should have filed it with the court as well
Will she maybe have formed an opinion already, based on having my evidence and naff all from them? Might her back be up already? hopefully and on your side against them mucking them about, fingers crossed
eta - might they ask for my occupational background etc as to why payments were stopped etc? I don't think its relevant at this proceedings, plus if they had behaved properly and delivered documents in time etc your defence is the debt is statute barred as opposed to anything else and you don't need reasons for a debt to be stat barred - they should have chased it sooner.
