Cool Directions Hearing Leeds

33 cases have been referred to Mercantile Court at Leeds from the County Court.
A directions hearing for 33 is being held on 7th Feb 2007 (Can someone confirm this date is the directions hearing?)
Barclays 9 cases
Lloyds TSB 7 cases
Abbey 3 cases
Yorkshire bank 2 cases
Clydesdale 4 cases
NatWest 3 cases
Capital One 1 case
HSBC 2 cases - 1 case settled
First Direct 1 case - settled
Ikano 1 case - should be settled but no cheque received yet - lost in post apparently!!

Can i suggest those using this site from the above pool our resouces, especially since the court may treat it as a Group Litigation.
Can we appeal against this group litigation? I am sure that all our cases are not that similar?
Or am I hoping against hope that these are all settled before the hearing on 7th Feb 2007?

Sorry i forgot/didn't get time to check.
Feb 7th is a long time away.
Is there anything we should/could do to encorage Barclays to settle earlier or are we playing the long game?

Hi, I would love Barclays to settle but i dont know if we can do anything, this is the final stretch now and court really worries me. Are you doing the case management sheet for the court?

I will do CMC sheet but nearer the time. No point going to all the effort now if they settle nearer the time.
I haven't been given a date by when CMC sheet has to be in by.
I did write to Court before this date was set asking what the delay was and requesting the Barclays, as a large company defending should write submit the case notes.

No, stansfiled, it doesn't appear to be.
Your number after the QZ is quite high, most numbers are in the 40000 region and I assume they are sequential/chronological. My case number is in the 30000. Was submitted in May though!

Hi Crisp. What exactly does it mean when the case has been transferred to the mercantile court? My claim is less than £5,000, so why has this happened and what is the difference? Does it mean it will drag on longer? Cheers

Stansfield where are you?
Did you put your claim in on MCOL?
Any case that has been either entered directly at Leeds County Court or was transferred from MCOL to Leeds has now been transferred to Mercantile Court at Leeds.
The erly claims 9ncluding mine) were redirected to a higher court in London for directions but then sent back to Leeds and transferred to Mercantile. There are plenty of threads about this in this section but it would appear to be an attempt by the Judiciary to clear the court system of these claims and the log jam caused by stubborness and intransigence of the banks to pay up.
In the Mercantile ( a higher court), there is a possibilty that a case may actually end up going thru Court, in which case a precedent would be set for the lower ie County Courts which would make the Court's work alot easier for susbsequent cases. Unfortunately its a double edged sword for the courts as none of the banks are taking it that far, they settle just before the CMC, but for us it means they can drag out the process a little longer.
