Hoping somebody can help with a few queries? I've done a lot of research and think I know what I'm doing, but it would be good to have some input from others who know more than me :o)
My claim was struck out because I was late arriving at court. I did let them know in advance that I would be a bit late, but the Judge went ahead with the Hearing anyway and just struck out my claim :o(
I am going to make an application to have the Claim reinstated, but wanted to confirm the following first:-
1. I presume it needs to be an application on notice...so £275 fee. I don't think I would get away with a without notice application would I?
2. I am in the process of composing a witness statement and awaiting a third party letter to exhibit to it, but I am concerned about the delay in submitting the application, although there does not appear to be any timescale. Is this correct? As any application should be made promptly (not sure how long would be viewed as promptly), would I be better submitting the application now without the witness statement and serving the application once the witness statement is completed? My understanding is that the CPR only stipulate that the evidence must be served with the application, not filed when the application is submitted; is this correct?
3. Should I be asking for relief from sanctions in the application or is this not applicable to these circumstances?
Thanks in advance for any assistance with this...I'm just concerned about getting it right!
