.Deleted for confidentiality

[WhiteVanMan5]

For the record, nothing came through from the defendants before (or after) the deadline of 4pm today.

[Frank1]

Yes I agree with your email completely.

As the contents of the tomlin order regarding settlement are likely to be confidential you should ask Legal Beagles to delete your post 497.

If you don't post again we'll assume your claim has been settled and congratulate you. All your hard work and perseverance would have been worthwhile

[Frank1]

If needs be you could file and serve your application, just don't pay the court fee whilst settlement documents are ongoing.

I have deleted the text.

What is it that makes it confidential?

[WhiteVanMan5]

Does confidentiality cause a problem copying in the bank (Defendant) to my response?

[Frank1]

No. The bank's solicitor will probably draft the tomlin order for you to sign. This should be possible by 4pm tomorrow.
It will mean you are at home tomorrow to print and sign it, photo or scan it and email it back.
The solicitor can then file it with the court paying the fee, copying you into the email to the court.

I got home tonight and I've booked the day off tomorrow.

I will send the email now.

Ok, I think I should respond quickly to the "if I don't post again" - a huge thanks to everyone that got me to this point, especially you Frank1 , none of this would have been possible without your assistance. I am hugely thankful.

I suspect I will be starting a new thread in a month or two in relation to my second vehicle (the Peugeot Partner that had a very similar problem). Though hopefully it won't be defended quite as vigorously given this outcome!

Hi, congratulations on winning your case.
It is a shame that Stellantis managed to keep the case a secret, otherwise I would have started my own case for an identical issue.
Anyway, if you do open a new case, it would be appreciated if you could add a link on here such that we can follow you.
Good luck with case #2
