“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.
