The Judge would like to apologise…
“Bah Humbug” says the Judge
Our office will be closed from 1.00pm on 23rd December 2016, until Tuesday 3rd January 2016. This is due to the annual festivities based around Christmas. Against his advice the management have seen fit to allow the minions, sorry staff time off to go home and spend time with their loved ones.
We would advise members that any Court papers that have a deadline during or just after this date should be sent to us as soon as possible, as we will be unable to deal with them during the office closure.
It is a good idea to keep an eye on the post over the festive period, even if you are on your own annual break, as you don’t want to be caught out by court deadlines. If you receive a County Court Claim over the Christmas/New Year break, fill in the one sheet document headed up ‘Response Pack/Acknowledgement of Service’, take a photocopy and then send it by Recorded Delivery back to the Court where it was issued by First Class mail or E-mail. In this way you will gain time to be able to respond with a more considered Defence to the claim than by rushing something damaging off straightaway.
Also, if you receive a document called ‘Directions Questionnaire’ please make sure you get it back to the Court before the cut-off date.
We would like to wish all members and clients a very Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.
