Stat Demand cases - generally

Can I just say ,,there is a whole world of advice,help and opinion available on LegalBeagles that should be utilised before,between and after Celestine's involvement.The bigger the picture presented to her,the easier and quicker her responses can be,therefore giving her a head start and all the prudent questions having already been answered.
Of course there are some cases that have to be taken 'off forum' (and that applies to whole of LegalBeagles) and we must respect that decision too.

I'm sure that Celestine won't mind me saying that the majority of SD cases she's asked to take on come from guests - that's people who have come to Beagles but not registered or posted on the site.

Re: Contacted by lowell - following a letter from BC solicitors

My point being EXC,,that a thread can suddenly come to an abrupt halt because the stakes have gone up and we all respect that,and Cel/Ame state just that so posters on the thread aren't left wondering

Yes and it's a good point although there may be a good reason for that. Anyway let's pick it up another time as I don't want to hijack Strong's thread any further.

Re: Stat Demand cases - generally

It is posted if a case does go over to Kate @ Howletts , as far as is possible , and after a case is concluded, again as far as is possible, the outcome is posted. I agree threads shouldn't just be left hanging as that helps man nor beast xx

(I shifted these off strong's thread simply because I wanted to reply and didn't want to continue the vague hijack)

I wondered what happened. I think it was because we began discussing generally.

Thank you.

Re: Stat Demand cases - generally

Sorry,,I didn't mean to hijack a thread..apologies

Obviously there is so much that has to be done 'behind the scenes' and I respect that.
There was a very upset poster on here the other week,,I couldn't help her but I pm'd one person I knew could..I got a pm saying :All being sorted...and a note on the thread that read :All in hand,,no furthur posts/advice needed on thread for now (or words to that effect) and that's exactly,to my mind,what should be done by Site Team/Admin (and they do)

In that case, do you think we should move my post: http://www.legalbeagles.info/forums/...581#post381581

...and maybe a few others on there, to this thread instead? :noidea:

Re: Stat Demand cases - generally

I think it's fine I just moved these bits over as could see the conversation continuing xx if Strong would prefer them moving then I will do xx

@ Inca - I think you are saying that we are doing it right ?

Re the other thread, was that the bailiff case ? I agree, that was handled brilliantly and the OP came back once it was sorted and said it was sorted. That was handled pretty instantly though, so don't forget that the stat demand cases can take a couple of weeks to get a full resolution on and OP's may not come back on the site afterwards, so pretty much all we CAN say is 'sorted'. I've nidged Kate to look in on this thread anyway just to set minds at ease.

Re: Stat Demand cases - generally

Yes.. Ame....in my mind..absolutely right

Every thread recently has had a 'got it' 'sorted' or some suchlike ending....and it's so nice to feel 'included' (if that makes sense)

Re: Stat Demand cases - generally

Hi all

yes, when possible I post something vague like 'In Hand'. Obviously my clients are protected by legal privilege so I have to be cautious, these cases COULD end up in Court theoretically.

I'm currently working on 25 statutory demands and am very swamped, so apologies if updates are slower than usual.

Actually there are 2 Legal Beagles threads about to be updated positively Ive just got to track down the clients first!

Re: Stat Demand cases - generally

All in your own time Kate.......I will allow you ohhhh lets say.......20 mins after conclusion????msl:

It's nice to see the victories...whatever the cases are.
And it's also very important to see the 'back off,,we got this' on threads because one wrong 'opinion' could cause absolute chaos.
We're (allegedly) adults on here (maybe 1 or 2 exceptions :drama

Re: Stat Demand cases - generally

If someone pops back and tells us what the outcome has been for them I always try and thank them for the update and mention that it will help others.
Very often folks just disappear (bit like me rum) and threads do get left dangling so to speak, but that can't be helped.
Even if Cel does want us to know how things have turned out it is entirely up to the op where the thread stops that is their right imo.
So far, so good though, it seems a splendid job is being done even though not all in front of our very eyes.

Re: Stat Demand cases - generally

My personal view is that members who have been helped by the site should have the good manners to come back to not only report the happy ending but tell us how it happened so we can all learn from it. Forums aren't a one-2-one bespoke advice service they should be a learning resource for thousands of others where experiences are shared.

SDs don't get set aside simply because Cel picks up the phone. It's about the law and how it's applied to a situation which is what she tells the opposition so they back down (always ). I think it would be useful to be told that the SD was set aside because the Ts & Cs were from the wrong year, or the CCA didn't have any prescribed terms so it was improperly executed :blah: :blah: :blah: That way we can all learn what to look out for in our files when a SD lands on the mat and the clock starts ticking. A lawyer can only work with the information they are given or as importantly from information the opposition hasn't given. We need to know the process if we are to cascade that information to others.

So any member who has been referred to a lawyer or to an external resource by this site should jolly well come back to finish the story and share the information they've gleaned from the experience. That's just my personal opinion.
