Hi everyone and first of all I must apologise if this is not the correct area to post this.
i have received a notice of allocation or listing hearing and the reasons given are track, expert evidence and directions.
claim is for issues with a new build property which is against the builder in small claims track. Some 200 pages have been provided inform of witness statement covering correspondence, snagging, chartered surveyors report, NHBC report, photos etc.
the bit I do not understand is that directions are an issue so I presume will be discussed at this meeting. However draft directions are required 5 days before.
not knowing what form these directions take, and that they are being discussed at this meeting, how can I provide draft directions beforehand?
i rang the court and was advised that these draft directions are simply items I wish to raise for discussion at this meeting. However defendants solicitor states this is incorrect. But then they also argue black is white and white is black according to facts of my claim despite supplied evidence etc and cannot provide evidence to back this up other than threats of spiralling defence costs which they seem to think they can recoup or ask to recoup.
i find the whole issue of dealing with a defendants solicitor intimidating and almost threatening being an ilitigent.
hope someone may be able to advise.
kind regards
matt
