Re: Suewilo v Yorkshire Bank - hearing 23rd Feb - strike application

Hi Amethyst or Tools, Just over 2 weeks till my court date now and getting a bit nervous to say the least. Do I need to get any paperwork to the court yet? I notice the date on my ws is 14/2/10, so do I take it that it needs to go in 1 week tomorrow? Sorry to be a pest but want to get it right to give myself the best chance, so really appreciate any help.
Thanks Sue

You can put it in as soon as you like when you are happy with it and have all your personal bits in place Megansdens sent his off last week too and i think I wrote a brief outline what to send in with it on his thread (you'll need to copy to court with covering letter and cc to the lovely kirstie ross) so have a nosey otherwise shout at me if you arent sure :kiss: then fingers crossed i guess.........


and ignore that bit about para 15 and pannon - I'm happy with it as it is.

Re: Suewilo v Yorkshire Bank - hearing 23rd Feb - strike application

Just to let you know I took W.S. to court today and posted the same to the lovely Kirstie with covering letters as advised. So cross everyhing and will keep you updated.

Re: Suewilo v Yorkshire Bank - hearing 23rd Feb - strike application

HELP PLEASE, :tinysmile_cry_t:
Just found a letter from the court by door as I was locking up tonight. Don't know how I missed it earlier but anyway. Please see attatched. They also returned my witness statement, why? Is it because I wrote and asked the court (as they advised) requesting that I have a McKenzie friend with me?
What do I do now, had only just got my head round going next week, got day booked off from work, also someone to go with me etc.
Advice please, Why has the time been extended to 1 hour? I thought it was just to get to the next stage. Do I need a solicitor? Sorry having another flap about all this again.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Suewilo v Yorkshire Bank - hearing 23rd Feb - strike application

The only issue here seems to be the time and there is no mention of any change to the nature of the hearing. It isn't clear to me why this is so as its only a directions hearing, and they are not about getting into great detail, by definition.

Being a cynic, my guess is that this judge does not want to be setting any precedent or having to make a decision and is stalling the hearing to see what develops elsewhere. From your point of view this is good news, because you are less likely now to be a guineau pig! I think you just need to sit tight and wait now.

Re: Suewilo v Yorkshire Bank - hearing 23rd Feb - strike application

Thanks Kafka,
The stalling is bad enough but I don't see why it will take up to 1 hour when others are only 20 mins or so. I know we are a slower up here in Shropshire but surely the judge should be able to make his own decisions not wait for others.

Re: Suewilo v Yorkshire Bank - hearing 23rd Feb - strike application

Well its clear from the chaos that the county courts have not been given any directions from London on how to handle the hundreds of thousands of stayed claims. I think many judges are just frightened to be the one that makes a decision when the gravity of the situation is so important. Some are running away from the problem while others are doing the right thing. Shrewsbury - it seems - is doing a bit of both :nono:

Re: Suewilo v Yorkshire Bank - hearing 23rd Feb - strike application

Hi Sue

This is good news

The 'returned' witness statement is simply them sending you your copy (you sent three - one for court, one for you and one for the defendants).

the original hearing was basically meant to be a strike out with no one attending as is the case with a majority of these claims at the moments, so the fact he has moved you and given extra time means he sees that your WS contains some valid points and is wanting to hear it properly.

I think, as we are working on POCs anyway, we could get these read to go in to court with to support your application to amend as well.

hopefully you saw megansden got his application through pn wendesday and is now allowed to amend POCS ?

Its good news, yes a bit scary thinking you have an hour in the court room instead of 20 mins, but as Kaf says you wont be a guinnea pig lol.

Re: Suewilo v Yorkshire Bank - hearing 23rd Feb - strike application

Thanks both,
Appreciate your support, I suppose, thinking about it more positivly you're right, it does mean he thinks I might be worth listening to! Also as you say a few more judges might have made some decisions by then. Yes been watching Megansden and saw he had got to next round, bit like a boxing match eh? Hope all goes well for everyone.

Re: Suewilo v Yorkshire Bank - hearing 29th March - strike app & amended POC

Hi Sue

How you doing ?

We need to start getting the POCs together, as I think it would be a jolly good idea to submit these to the court before the hearing (which after all is as it should be with an application to amend).

Then you shouldnt have to formally apply with a fee AFTER the hearing and the next step will be defence.

Re: Suewilo v Yorkshire Bank - hearing 29th March - strike app & amended POC

Hi Ame,
I am ok thanks, hope you are too? Just been browsing of late, you have all been so busy.
Could you help start me off with the POC please? I know it needs to be personal to me and have seen others on site, but would appreciate some help as want to get it as good as I can, and as you say if we get it in B4 court date might avoid an extra fee.
(Had problem with laptop at home, awaiting new lead next week so using works at present Shhh don't tell them!)
So ok then, will hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks for your advice

Re: Suewilo v Yorkshire Bank - hearing 29th March - strike app & amended POC

Can you itemise the types of charges added? Were any of them charges on charges and so on. Did you ask for support but get none? Was any problem caused by withdrawl of an OD, for example?

In your personal case, how did they act unfairly?

Can you pull some ideas together around this for starters?

[dustymare]

Re: Suewilo v Yorkshire Bank - hearing 29th March - strike app & amended POC

Hi All,
Yes, I have itemised types of charges added, did it ready for postponed date as Ame had asked me earlier!
Yes we did ask for help but no record of this so don't suppose that counts? Whats an OD, I'm a nurse and it means overdose to me? No seriously, if it means overdraft. yes this did occur as our od was reduced at 1 point quite dramatically from over £1,000 to £300.
Would it help if I sent note of these to you in a pm but stuck till get lead back for laptop?
Thanks Sue

Re: Suewilo v Yorkshire Bank - hearing 29th March - strike app & amended POC

I'll set you up a VIP thread to carry on with the more private stuff until the POCs are ready. Be much easy for us to work on things that way.

If you have copies of letters / statements that you think will be useful then you can email them to admin@legalbeagles.info I could also do with your charges schedule (list)

Will set up thread ( Legal Beagles ) then once POCs are in we can post them, depersonalised again back here.
