You may object.

The other party may apply to the court for directions, i.e. to rule on the question.

Hi atticus
The solicitors have applied to the court, with a 4 page statement to get another extension
I feel I’m being out played by them. I want to make sure I understand why what they are doing is wrong before I write to the courts. Could you confirm if I'm using the right terms here, and saying the right things, as II’m really worried about them picking me up on technicalities or their legal games. I just want to know if I'm on the right track with these words so I can defend myself properly., and respond to the court by early this week.

They have delayed and dragged this out for over 7 months with excuses, i have been on hold waiting and now want yet another 3 more months to wait for one specific expert person, .would this be considered this a tactical delay/process, conduct?
They were in a strict no more extensions, however, they say in the statement
I am restrictingntimings for them, but she left out the fact that I was actually trying to follow International Technical Standards for a fair test. Is she allowed to just leave out my side of the story in her statement, misleading? They are saying I have made them miss the dead line, so my fault, which I don't think I have, which I will try explain to the court.
Due to their chosen expert not available, they previously wanted.
their xpert to write a report from someone else's pic s. Is that legally ok, under cpr or is itclassed as hearsay, and not reliable evidence?.
I feel they are using my lack of legal knowledge to trip me up with a lot of emails on short space of time to overwhelm me and they have put they want costs claims at the end (can i counter , ask the court to dismiss.this. it feels like costs should be the other way round given they could have tried to make the deadline They are selective about what they answer, and ignore otherthings. . Is that unreasonable conduct. How do I safely put down her statement misleading seiectiveness without sounding argumentative. I don't feel I have been difficult only wanting to make sure compliant with any report done.
i obviously do not want to delay for another 3, 4 months, as I can see them pushing a trial for next year at this rate.
I have already suggested another expert, however they want to wait and stick for their expert, can I now ask the court to consider them getting someone else, within time limit, 1 4 days?
i also suggested to the solicitors that aobjective technical test, to get a scientific answer to the defects of the case, the solicitors said no need if getting visual report, but as this is major part of the case, can I ask explain to thejudge how this test would be important technical data, and ask them to consider?
i would appreciate any help, and advice., to help with my response.

Write a statement responding and putting your points across.

atticus . I will do that, thank you but i would like to know, so i don't get tripped up on technicalities whether I am within my rights, to include about conduct/abuse ofrocess all the delays, is it unreasonable they want a further 3 months plus, when already had 6months for their xpert? Can I ask for unless order, us 14 data too short? Can I object to third party report, if that goes ahead? I don't want to appears unreasonable but do want it to be fair. With the solicitors being selective over the details they have put down, is this not considered legally unfair?. It would be helpful to have your opinion, as I don't wsbtbyi be putting it down if not the best thing to say. Yes, I haven't done this before and legally outplayed.

[atticus]

Concentrate on making all your points. Leave the questions what is reasonable and about the fairness of the other party's approach to the judge.

Explain how and why you will be prejudiced by further delays.

[Sotired]

atticus Thank you, that is very helpful. I will focus on the facts, try explain and hope they can see the imbalance. and let the judge decide on the fairness,.
