Small claims court - failure to send documents

[babagnush]

Hi,

I have a case at the small claims court on Wednesday and as I'm preparing for it I've just noticed I was supposed to have sent documents in atleast 2 weeks in advance. Neither party has done that so now I'm unsure as to what will happen, will the judge let either party submit any evidence or just dismiss the case.

Should I postpone - do I even have time to do that?

Thanks in advance

Baba

Get those documents in, and copied to the other party.

You risk having your case struck out in any event.

Thank you Atticus! As I'm counter claiming and the claimant hasn't submitted any documents does that mean that their claim will get thrown out as well as my counter claim?

[atticus]

That is a possibility.

Thank you! I've just noticed in the claim they've listed out interest fees of a far greater amount per day that the actual amount. They've claimed expenses of 3 months interest per day.

Would the judge see this as an issue?

The judge may see it is an issue, particularly if you draw it to his attention.
