Particulars of Claim - delivery company - shipping damage

[Guest 888]

Hi - I'd be very grateful for some advice re. drafting a POC for a claim against a parcel delivery company - I'm aware there are quite a few templates for reclaiming bank charges and I haven't found a POC template for services / reclaiming damage / compensation in this case.

 

Any relevant advice / links will be much appreciated!

 

Thanks!

There are no particular templates for this type of claim 888

 

Here is the format just insert your reason for claim and the relief sought.

 

PARTICULARS OF CLAIM

1. On 16th January 2012, the Claimant........

2. After the Claimant .....

3. .......

 

PARTICULARS OF NEGLIGENCE AND/OR BREACH OF STATUTORY DUTY

 

 

5. The losses incurred by the Claimant are set out in the Schedule of Losses served with the Particulars of Claim.

6. The Claimant also claims interest pursuant to Section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 on the amount found to be due to the Claimant at such rate and for such period as the Court thinks fit.

 

AND the Claimant claims:

(1) £xxx.xx

(2) Interest pursuant to Section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 to be assessed.

 

STATEMENT OF TRUTH I believe that the facts stated in these Particulars of Claim are true

Many thanks - so losses are the equivalent of damages then?

 

I thought there is a formulae how to calculate the interest - something along the lines of 8%...??

If you are owed £1,000, the rate of interest would be as follows:

0.00022 x 1,000 = 0.22

So the daily rate of interest is 22p.
