In the last week, the writer has expended considerable time in assisting clients apply to the county courts asking to have their upcoming hearings adjourned to a later date. All because on each occasion the client only remembered quite late in the day that their court hearing clashed with time out of the country.
Notwithstanding the impact it has on our legal team to put together such formal applications, they cost the client £100 as that is the fee the court will demand to simply consider whether to adjourn or not – and it is by no means guaranteed.
We ask all our clients to be very mindful of their future commitments when declaring their availability to attend court. For the sake of both our time and your money!
