Leeds Mercantile Court Hearing 28th June 2007

[Calculator]

Starter for Leeds Mercantile Court Hearing 28th June:

Anybody requiring information regarding the form and procedures should see the sticky thread entitled 'Mercantile Court Guide' http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...urt-guide.html at the top of this forum. Ignore the piece about Commercial and Admiralty (CPR58 & CPR61), but see post no.3 which deals with CPR59 Mercantile Court.

Also see the threads entitled 'Mercantile Hearing Leeds 26th April 2007' http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...eeds-26th.html and 'Directions Hearing Leeds' http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...ing-leeds.html (held on 7th Feb) which is enlightening as to what went on before and at those directions hearing.

PS 7/6/07: See the new sticky thread http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...nfo-sheet.html

Ron,

Thanks for the info.
With a 123 cases listed and still time to go, this is a big hearing.

I have seen your note on another thread asking for help with the CPR 59 CMI sheet.

PS 9/6/07: The next paragraph is superseded. Go instead to the new sticky thread http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...nfo-sheet.html post 15.

[If you look at my starter Post 1 on this thread, then go to the sticky thread 'Mercantile Court Guide' http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...urt-guide.html (posts 3 and 5) at the top of this Mercantile forum you will see the CMI sheet uncompleted. There are notes on how to download it if you are unable to take a copy from there. Then at thread 'Mercantile Hearing 20th Feb' posts 12 to 14 are example answers. It sounds a bit complicated at first, but it is not. (All you have to do is match up the item numbers on the uncompleted CMI sheet with the item numbers on the example answer sheet and you have the completed sheet, but make sure you take account of the notes that I have made).
Hope this helps. Post again here if you need anything further.]

I'm at Leeds against First Direct too on 28th June. No aq's or CPR59 done yet though, should I worry?

Mothership,

Has the court asked yo to do both an aq and a CPR 59 Case management information sheet (CMI sheet)?

For the February and April Merantile hearings , the Court only required a CMI sheet. There was no request for an aq for the Mercantile hearing.

The CMI sheet should be submitted to the Court at least 7 days before the hearing so you have ample time yet, although the sooner the better as it may spur the bank into action to settle the claim (send a copy of the CMI sheet to the bank (or their solicitors if they have told you who they are).

[mothership99]

Thanks for the quick reply...

The Court hearing papers just mentions that the CPR 59 should be sent prior to 7 days before the date. I was a bit unclear as I've seen the aq's mentioned in relation to Mercantile Court elsewhere. Also I have not received the bank's Defence which I'm told they filed. Is this usual?

May I say also that I have come from Penalty Charges and there is little help available on their forums on the subject of Mercantile Court transfers so I've posted there that this website (CAG) has more info. Hope this is ok, as I know there are lots of us in Leeds at least.

Thanks

Mothership,

I'm glad you found this site and it is of use to you.

When cases get transferred to the Leeds Mercatile Court, it is usual for the Court not to ask for an aq. It is also usual for the Court not to send you the bank's defence even though one has been lodged.
It's a matter of bypassing those and going straight in at the case management conference/directions hearing stage, so all you need to do is complete the CMI sheet and send it to the Court and copy to the bank/or the bank's solicitors at least 7 days before the hearing. You have ample time to do so. Did you get a copy of the bank's acknowledgement of service of the claim? If so it should say on there where documents are to be served (sent).

Do you have enough info to be able to complete the CMI sheet? - see post No.1 on this thread.

[Calculator]

The info at 24 May was that there were 123 cases listed for the hearing.
Is anybody able to give any further update on the number listed?

[darlo321]

Calculator,

Recently spoke to the court office, they have literally hundreds of cases to deal with. It is understood that this has extended to a second hearing on the 29th June.

[Calculator]

Thanks for the info Darlo. The media should be really interested at the numbers and hopefully it will get some good publicity.

[lousecutiepie]

Got a letter from the court on 2/6/07, i'm 181 on the list. Its going to be a big one.

[apdjools]

Hi all,

I am there too on 28th June (not sure what number).

Just wanted to clarify, as I getting bogged down in talk of bundles and CMI's among the rest :
What do I actually need to do now - I have recieved the letter from the court -
Do I prepare a CMI and a full Court Bundle based on my case ? Or just a CMI ?
Ive come this far - dont want to mess it up now !

Cheers
Fair
