Defendant: Assessment for Damages Hearing

[Debbie1608]

I am the Defendant in this matter as the Claimant (Kitchen Company) issued a claim against me. I issued a Defence & Counterclaim. The Claimant's claim was struck out for non compliance of Court Orders and failing to file a Reply to my Defence & Counterclaim.

I have now received a hearing date (end Jan) for an Assessment of Damages Hearing.

I have absolutely no idea what I need to do (I am representing myself). Can anyone please guide me?

Thanks in advance

(I do have another legal matter running almost simultaneously with this one if you happen to see my other posts - so as not to confuse the two)

You need to work out what you are claiming and how you will prove your entitlement to those sums. You will need to put together a statement explaining this and to exhibit all supporting documents.

So, I don't need to prepare a Witness Statement, Exhibits, Bundle of Documents etc - merely a Statement relating to my counterclaim with supporting documentation?

Not sure how a Judge can assess damages if he is only in receipt of details provided via my Defence & Counterclaim
