thanks:D I'm sure he could use the support!

[un1boy]

Excellent! This could be useful ....

 

But ... does it matter that the case concerned refers to UTCCR's 1994 as opposed to the current 1999 and had anything changed in between?

 

 

Any update in this house of lords ruling in 2002????????

 

Or, what's it called?

 

I would not of thought it matters which ones ('94 or '99) as long as the principles of the rules are the same....

The court have put Tom's hearing down for the week of 29 October. He

hopes they will confirm the exact day and court later this week.

crfx, I'm in the same boat as Tom, but a bit more money. Second part of hearing on Thursday, Halifax not objecting to adjournment, but they have pulled out the big guns - five in Court - DLA. Could Tom take a look or recommend somebody?

 

Cheers

The date for the appeal hearing has been scheduled for Monday 29 October. I'll post whch court it's taking place in when I know.

 

It appears he has now even more riding on the outcome of his case. Two TV channels have approached him about the possibility of him hosting a series on law. But as how these things work, he would need to win the case.

[crfx250]

The hearing is at the Royal Courts of Justice in The Strand. It's expected

to kick off at 10.30 - that's assuming the judge dosn't decide to make it a long weekend.

 

He'll have only an hour to put his case so he's going to concentrate on 3 of the 10 arguments in his paper appeal. He has not informed the media

of the hearing to avoid any distractions.

only an hour, kinda short isn't it? I will try and be there if i can

[crfx250]

As I uderstand it the first hour is down to Tom to put his case then their

will be questions and debate. The judge has refused Natwest representation but they will be able to submit something in writing.

[alecmac18]

will someone post an update on the case later on?

[madjj111]

i wish this guy the best of luck - fair play to him for taking it this far - his case has an obvious impact on us all waiting on our bank charges being refunded. Good luck Tom.

[alecmac18]

Does anyone know what happened yet?

Does anyone know what happened yet?

A man of few words.

The oral application for permission to appeal was heard this morning, 29 October 2007, before Mr Justice Pitchford. The hearing went quite well, all things considered, and Pitchford J. has reserved judgement, which will most likely be handed down next week.

 

I will post here once I have received the judgment, but for now, it's a case of watch this space.

 

For a consideration of the issue of default provisions in consumer contracts being subject to the test of fairness, see Director General of Fair Trading v First National Bank [2001] UKHL 52 (House of Lords - Director General of Fair Trading V First National Bank).

Hi Tom,

 

Best of luck, gutted I couldn't make it down this morning.

 

Did Natwest put up any resistance today? I assume they filed some sort of papers

 

regards,

shane

[Tom Brennan]

Yes, Natwest filed a letter with the court, but did not turn up today, which meant the hearing was much quicker (and smoother)!

 

Fortunately the press didn't get wind of the hearing, which menat I could focus on what I was doing without distractions.

[shane5408]

Hi Tom,

 

I was wondering if you'd be willing to post up or PM a copy of your Particulars Of Claim and any skeleton Argument you may have used, would be a lot of help to me and I'm sure others.

 

kind regards,

Shane

[vinegarvera]

Just wanted to say Good luck Tom!!!!
