Where to Serve Papers?

[EmbraFella]

I think I'm going to be in dispute with a supplier to the extent that I will need to send papers in such a way that I am confident they have been received.

It's a limited company with one director as far as I can make out. According to Google street view, their registered address appears to be a mailshop. I drove past the address on their letterhead and it's actually used by another company with no mention of them on the door.

I've not put much effort into investigating this yet, but any pointers are welcome!

CPR 6 covers service.

Should have mentioned both parties are based in Scotland

You can use email in the usual way. You are required to clarify the issue before going to court. Try to avoid litigation however because it will bleed you dry unless it's a small claim - and even then it can be a hassle.

If you get to the litigation stage then serve the claim form as @Clinton has suggested or get solicitors involved.

What does Companies House say?

I will need to send papers - what papers? The sun, telegraph?? just joking!

Consider the value of the debt, have you visited and taken copies of everything with you? Have you spoken to the person responsible, face to face?

If you mean, copy invoices or copies of their purchase orders or copies of contracts

Send papers to the registered address with copies to the working address.

Presumably, you mean a small claim court, registered address with copies to the working address.

Assuming that your claim covers an issue that occurred after November 2016 and the sum involved is below £5,000, the answers to questions about procedure are here - https://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/taking-action/simple-procedure

Please note that mediation must be attempted before a claim is made. If it is a registered company, the address listed at Companies House is where all correspondence is to be sent. If you have been using another address for the respondent, both addresses should be used.

Which reminds me: how can you tell if a cow is Scottish?

Answer: it goes "McMoo!"

 

[The Byre]

McMoo would be an Irish cow - Mac is Scottish and means 'the son of'. Nic, 'daughter of' is what you should use, so NicMoo is the correct answer!

So Nicola is the daughter of Ola?
