Hiya LB.
So, I started a claim against Vueling airlines years ago, using the cross border EU procedure, just before Brexit was ratified. They did not respond to the claim, instead returning it stating the forms were not in Spanish (which they actually were).
It has taken my local court almost three years to arrange with me making an application for default as my argument is they had their chance to file a defence and failed. Been getting Spanish translations sorted out for the application, serving via foreign process section, etc etc.
Anyway, interestingly, very recently Vueling finally started responding! Filed a defence to my claim and have taken on an English solicitor to deal with it.
I'm just curious whether would be more sensible now to serve a new N1 particulars of claim on their English solicitor and ask the Judge to stay the cross border claim until this UK one is sorted out? Would that be 2nd bite of cherry? Or some other sort of conflict?
