Sorry - I've moved this to a more suitable place.
Good afternoon all,
I'm hoping that someone will be able to advise me as follows:
I have made a small claims court claim against a company that refused to pay me for work carried out. The case has not been scheduled yet.
In short:
The defendant has ticked a box 'contest juristiction of the court' and also denied that any money is owed.
They have instructed a solicitor to handle their case. I suspect that the defendant will not appear in court and so I will be unable to put answers to them personally, in response to the quite frankly absurd defence. What if the solicitor just sticks to their version?
A letter from the solicitor (which includes the defence statement which is mostly lies and quite riduiculous smokescreens) has said 'You are invited to withdraw your claim' and 'You cannot win the case' and also 'Claimant is on strict proof'.
Now, I have no intention of halting my claim as I have plenty of proof to back it up.
I would just like to know, how, if atall any of the above may make any difference in court?
Many thanks in advance,
Gonnagetpaid
