A letter of claim states 'our client is entitled to the remaining £x and expects payment of the same without delay'. It goes on to say that if this amount is not paid, then 'our client will issue the claim at court and seek legal costs incurred'.
What is the situation if the claim at court is then considerably higher than the £x payment sought in the letter of claim? (For example if the letter of claim asks for a payment of £2500 and then the claim at court is for £4500.)
Is this allowed? If it is not allowed, can you ask for the claim to be struck out?
