    Wrong name on claim form

    This is a claim against a company using a trading name. However, I see that the Defendant defended the case. In order to defend it, they must have stated what their name was (on the Acknowledgement of Service or on the Defence). It may be the case that you write to the Court pointing to the...

    Legality of a B2B contract

    We've had this before with one of our clients in a similar situation where they were sold some billboard advertising. The advertiser did start a Court case and we prepared a defence for them on the basis of no contract. The matter is still ongoing. We could do an initial free review to...

    The answer is yes. The Claimant can reply. A judge will still decide the application based on the evidence. Michael Loveridge gives good advice.

    Small Claims

    Sounds like the debt has been assigned from the Ltd company to the director personally although whether that is a valid assignment is a different question and subject to evidence, rather than discussion. Gyumri gives some good advice (in his reply 24/10/23). Michael Loveridge confirms the...

    Commercial Property Dispute/Litigation Solicitor Required

    Not entirely in agreement with the other replies as it is not unusual for solicitors who dealt with the lease to pass such a matter on to litigation lawyers.
