solicitors advice, is this right

Re: solicitors advice, is this right

sol told me that to get a set aside I have to make the dates look as good as possible. simple as that.

I really do consider it to be most unlikely that any solicitor (who was not unconsciously thinking of a change of job) would suggest that his client should seek to mislead a court. Not even the celebrated Rodney Hylton-Potts (link) would be quite that daft!

It should be easy to TRY to get a set aside plenty of threads on here where its been done.

Perhaps he wants to spend more time in his garden, or wants to visit you in gaol?

Re: solicitors advice, is this right

the forms have been sent to the court but the solicitor hasnt signed the defence that he wrote.is that right?should he have signed that? the next thing is the court date in a few days. i dont know whether the best thing now is to try to stop it.if the judge is like the sol said he is and might quickly look at the forms and cant be bothered adding dates up and down, it might be ok.so worrying now i do feel an idiot

Don't worry it will probably be fine, the judge will probably of already made a decision before you go in. Is it just a hearing of the setaside application?

Was your witness statement correct (and signed by you etc) ?

Re: solicitors advice, is this right

its a set aside hearing.the witness statement and the form saying application to set aside are backdated and didnt arrive atcourt until 3wks after the date on them.this is what im now a bit worried about.im trying to say i did it way before i actually did do it but sol said it was the only way.what if judge asks me why the long time between dates :doggieyes::boink:
