I am challenging a money claim where the claimant has admitted to breaching CPR15.5(c), disclosing documents within 7 days, that they wish to rely on in their pariculars of claim.
I have not yet filed a defence and the claim has not yet been allocated. Furthermore they are relying on a Guarantee and Indemnity document dating back to 2022 where they have admitted to not promising to pay a consideration of £1 for entering into a Guarantee agreement. They state that the Guarantee and Indemnity is still valid on a revolving credit advance. They state that for a consideration to be valid, it requires to be something of value in the eyes of the law which, constitutes the price which the promise of the other party is bought. It does not have to be executed and can be yet to be performed. I believe that it is an unfair term as I argue that it is both unfair and unreasonable, in that it obliges the consumer to fulfil all his obligations where the seller or supplier does not perform his. The Claimant has agreed to extend the time to file a defence for a further 28 days. Do I have a valid defence?
