I have issued a Small Claim via Money Claims Online. The Defendant is unrepresented but has either phoned or emailed the Court complaining that the Claim is unreasonable. The Claim form has been referred to a district judge. The claim is for a specified sum, but the clerk suggested it might be unsuitable for MCOL and might therefore be struck out with guidance to re-file via CCMCC.
Is this correct and is it a common process? If it is struck out, can it be re-issued or should I make an application asking for it to be reinstated and transferred?
Anyone else run into this?
