Can defendant's wife act instead of him?
Hello everyone, I'm baffled by goings on in
my small claims case against a self employed one
man band (cowboy) who fitted a bathroom for me.
The hearing was adjourned last week to give him
8 more weeks to comply with Orders, as if that
wasn't bad enough, he never said a word in
Court, his wife did all the talking as though it
was her case, when I tried to question this, she
became abusive and loudly shouted at me to
stop interrupting!
The District Judge didn't stop her and nobody told
me why she was talking, I was too embarrassed to
do anything & the hearing only lasted 5 minutes but
my Claim is against the trader only so I'd like to ask
if anybody can tell me if this is legal & what I can
do about it?
The woman is loud & intimidating & I don't think
I could cope with her acting as the Defendant at
the New hearing,
