Hi N.I.D ;Hi
Just wanted to say a huge thank you, for your guidance and support last week, I was panicking when I contacted you, only having 24 hours notice to prepare for the court case. Fear of the unknown is very intimidating. However, after your coaching re court set up, personal conduct and the in depth instruction and material to how to defend the case. I was confident and ready for the challenge. ;P-;
I was bit nervous when I arrived at the court, but was pleasantly surprised at how informal it was. The sheriff was up in his perch (sorry don’t know legal term for his seat ;Hmm ) the Sheriff Clerk, pursuers solicitor and myself sat round a big table in front of him. ;Qt
It wasn’t the same Sheriff and it was also a different solicitor appearing for the pursuer which was a bit of a nightmare. She claimed to have been misinformed as to the outcome of Incidental Application hearing and allegedly was under the impression that decree was to be granted. As I was the only one present that had actually attended the Incidental Application hearing I really had to go over my defence again to clarify the previous sheriff opinion and the evidence of proof he had requested from Pursuer. The pursuer’s solicitor did interrupt and disputed a lot of the facts; thankfully the sheriff clerk reaffirmed the accuracy of my testimony from Incidental Application hearing notes. I did need to remain strong and deliver my defence assertively; otherwise the solicitor would have walked all over me.
I was confident that the sheriff was on side after my evidence, ;D was bit surprised when he continued it to diet of proof hearing, however she appealed to the sheriff to allow the pursuers solicitor proof hearing as she had been misguided as to outcome of application hearing. I didn’t ask for court expenses or even mention them so I was a bit taken aback when the sheriff awarded the pursuer pay me court expenses as from the Incidental Application hearing. I think he awarded expenses to compensate for continuing it to diet of proof hearing, he must have felt guilty because he couldn’t get out the door fast enough and didn’t look at me after his judgement. I suppose in a way that’s a good sign because it show's that he’s human. ;Red So that’s me till diet of proof hearing in January. ;N
I lodged a complaint with Consumer Direct for their non compliance with OFT Guidance and also misleading information on company website. I don’t know if it was is just coincidental however I couldn’t find the solicitor website today. I'll keep checking and update you in next couple of days… ;-y ;Sh
Thanks a million for all your help. When does my training start for diet of proof hearing ring in January?? ;LOL ;F-
