I WON AT COURT AGAINST CURTIS,THEY ALLEGED A PERSONAL SERVICE OF STATUTORY DEMAND,ONLY ONE SMALL PROBLEM,I WAS AT WORK!!AND HAD THE PROOF.SO IF YOU HAVE ANY SIMILAR PROOF,THATS YOUR WAY OUT. I WAS AWARDED COSTS OF 800££,BUT CURTIS SET THAT ASIDE,BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL JUDGE DID NOT WRITE THINGS DOWN PROPERLY.(DID NOT SUMERALY ASSES IT CORRECT)OUTSIDE OF COURT THEY OFFERED ME 300££ ,I ACCEPTED,AND THAN THEY WROTE ME A LETTER SAYING THAT I TURNED DOWN THERE OFFER AND WOULD NOT PAY ME ANY COSTS(OBVIOSLY THEY ARE HOPING I'LL GET TIRED).THE COURT SAYS I'M OWED 9.75 AN HOUR BECAUSE I WENT WITHOUT SOLICITOR.THE CASE LASTED 8 MONTHS,I DID RESERCH OF 2 HOURS A WEEK,SO THAT COMES TO ABOUT 900££ HOW CAN I PROVE THIS?AND HOW CAN I FORCE THEM TO PAY MY COSTS,AND CAN I HAVE THE ORIGINAL ORDER REINSTATED?

You will no doubt had received a letter from the court on the out come of the initial proceedings. Lodge a county court small claims for for the money that is owed should your cost of your orinal case be contested use your fat file as evidence and don't forget to ask for cost again.
