Re: Court claim issued by HSBC on a faulty DN & TN
Using the same argument as HHJ Roderick Denyer QC, would it not be permissable to claim that the creditor suffered no prejudice by being paid late, and that therefore all late payment charges should be refunded?
Or that no prejudice is suffered by the lender if the arrears are paid in 2 months not 2 weeks, so that the agreement should continue and his action to claim all amounts cease?
In both cases the lender would receive interest as per T&Cs and lose no money and precisely the same argument is used for the debtor as for the creditor.
Presumably a judge that disagreed with this would be guilty of bias towards the lender?
Just a thought...
