DEAL fail to turn up, fail to turn up, fail to turn up.

March 25
The defendant turned up at Liverpool county court but were informed that Deal had discontinued at 15:40 yesterday. Pity they didn't let the defendant know, but apparently it was a lovely day to spend in the beautiful city of Liverpool so not a total waste

March 18
An urgent e-mail was sent to Liverpool County Court 17/3/15 15-50 by leyla@creativecarpark.co.uk saying they wished to discontinue the proceedings  Debt Enforcement & Action Limited v Mr McC. Due to the late notification the Judge heard the case and found in the defendant's favour with £71-08 costs to be paid by 1/4/15.

March 18
Upon reading the court file, DJ Corrigan struck DEAL out at Yeovil.

March 16
The defendant arrived at Chelmsford court by 9.30 for a hearing due at 10.00.  2 hours were set aside for the They went into the courtroom just after 10. Judge Rodger after exchange of pleasantries asked if they had got the letter?  (What letter? No, I haven't had any letter.) He then said that he had just received a letter at 9.50 from DEAL stating that they were discontinuing the case against me ......... therefore, case to be 'Struck out'.  The defendant asked what he could claim against DEL/CEL and the judge replied that he could not claim anything. He said that he had read the counter claim but that he should be pleased that its over. The defendant asked about expenses etc that he had listed, but the judge again said that he had no claim and that was it. "Go and enjoy Chelmsford."


Prankster note
Same old same old. However, the March 18 case is more proof that DEAL, CEL and Creative are all linked companies.

  1. Surely a defendant can take their own civil action to make a claim for expenses (damages) where the case is discontinued so late as to prevent any reasonable person from discontinuing their trip to court. Such a claim could add on the costs of mounting a claim I would think.
    They just have to be stopped from this sort of abuse.

  2. I wonder if Judge Rodger will look back on that 'no counter claim, no expenses' dismissal with a soupçon of embarrassment.

  5. I'm very surprised the judge did not allow expenses - it's a clear case of unreasonable behaviour by the claimant and the defendant has incurred a loss by having to turn up unnecessarily. I wonder if it's worth taking DEAL to court to claim costs, of if that's even allowed? I'd at the very least write to the court and ask the judge to re-consider his decision and cite the reasons why.

  11. they did not forget , they hoped you would not show up , and they would get a default. say nothing , roll up ARMED with your paper work in case they do turn up.

    have a form written out to hand over for your costs , hand it over now , not at a later date.

  12. I've photocopied and sent to the court the letter received from DEAL - will hopefully show the judge what a underhand and deceitful lot these are! I'm certainly going with costs!

  13. but don,t forget to ring the court to check that the Notice of Discontinuation is genuine

    they have been known to ring/write to people , but not bother actually contacting the courts

    until you get a letter from the court its still on!,

  14. Had my case heard this morning, judge ruled unacceptable behaviour on part for DEAL for a) not attending hearing b) for filing discontinuance with defendant but not the court in the 11th hour. Court also awarded defendant/me costs of £190 :-)
