  • Rtasc q form

    “Hello, I’m new here and need guidance on a court form issue.

    Hi all,
    I’m dealing with a road traffic accident personal injury claim and trying to issue court proceedings.

    The court has returned my claim form asking me to clarify the correct defendant details.

    The situation is:

    - The claim form generated from the initial portal lists one individual as the defendant (based on driver details at the scene).
    - I later received correspondence from insurer solicitors stating their client is a different named individual and that they accept service of proceedings.

    The claim form has two sections:

    1. Defendant name and address
    2. Address for service (if different, e.g. legal representatives)

    My question is:

    For Box 1, should the defendant be:

    - the driver named at the scene,
    - the insurer/representative company, or
    - the insured individual identified by the solicitor?

    And for Box 2, should this be the solicitor’s service address?

    I just want to ensure I complete the form correctly before resubmitting.

    Thanks in advance.

    The driver is the defendant. If the insurer has named that person then that is the name that you should use.
