Right the day for the preliminary hearing finally arrived, armed with two large folders and numerous printouts of CAG threads I atteded court.
At five minutes to go the same solicitor apperaed with a big smile on his face, obvioously regarding me as a long lost friend.
He was very pleased to offer me a settlement of abot 60% of the claim and took some pleasure in telling me that LTSB won a case the other day.
I must watch too much daytime TV, I thought for a moment and said No Deal.
After a bit of half hearted haggling guess what -- yes he settled for the full amount.
Date of issue of MCOL 17 June 2006
settled 18 June 2007
As I said at the start of this thread this story is not typical dont let it put any one off - It can only happen to me
