A Sale of Goods Act rejection of a horsebox (claim value circa £20k) because of multiple defects discovered very soon after delivery.
The Defendant's first defence was struck out by the Deputy District Judge, he was given a second chance to file a defence and now a solicitor has submitted a complicated document with several fundamental 'lies' to make it appear as if we bought the vehicle in the course of our business rather than, as was the case, as private individuals/consumers to pursue our leisure interest in horses.
How do we best tackle this? Can we complain about integrity/honesty of the brief the solicitor has been given. The correct facts are readily available in documents from our own files and those of public authorities.
