    Defeated Lowell Portfolio 1 LTD in Leeds County Court

    This was a small consumer credit claim of around £2,000 which the Claimant persisted in taking to trial possibly hoping our client would not have representation on the day in court for such a small sum. I decided to represent my client at the trial. The claimant was represented by counsel.

    After heavily contested legal argument the District Judge dismissed the claim describing it as being hopeless from the start. He made an order that the claimant pay our clients costs, even though it was on the small claims track, due to Lowell's unreasonable conduct in bringing the claim. The amount of costs awarded were almost as much as Lowell's had tried to sue for.

          Thanks Joanna Connolly

          This was my case, as in I was the defendant - it was also from 2009 so outside the scope of pre 04/2007......

          There's always hope - especially when you have Jo & Di on side
