Defendant has not provided skeleton argument

[JinnyD]

Hi

Have an ongoing discrimination case, I am a disabled litigant in person and have a quick question.

The defendant was told to file and serve any additional evidence, submissions or skeleton argument by last Friday. They haven't done so.

Because of my disability I will not be able to process their verbal agrument minus evidence, written argumentsetc in the hearing without multiple stops and help from the Personal Support Unit. the cost to the court will be considerable because of this.

Is this a breach of CPR/directions? What can I do to counter this behaviour?

Thanks JinnyD

The court has a duty to make reasonable adjustments as per Equality Act 2010, Human Rights Act 1998. Inform the court this, ie speak to the court staff. Explain the nature of your disability or its impediment or effect in terms of processing verbal information, please.

Hi, you say the defendant was " told " to file, was this a court/tribunal order.
