Advice on strike out CPR PD 16 2.2.

[Blossomandebony]

Hi,

 

My friend has had a credit card claim struck out by a judge on the premise that Practice Direction 2.2 was not complied with. When I've checked, the Practice Direction states that;

 

The claim form must include an address at which the claimant resides or carries on business. This paragraph applies even though the claimant's address for service is the business address of his solicitor.

 

Obviously, the claimant's address was on the claim form as the court have wrote to him with the order!!!

It was even checked by the court staff as it was delivered by hand.

 

Now he has to apply for the judgment to be reversed and it seems so stupid. Has anyone had experience of this sort of direction, and is it straightforward in getting it set aside, (I presume it is, surely for such a minor matter.)???
