'Allocation Hearing'...what should we expect?

[Martha_k]

Hi,

 

We have just received a letter from our local county court stating the following:

 

"To the Claimant

 

Before DISTRICT JUDGE .... sitting at Warrington County Court, The Law Courts, Legh Street, Warrington...

 

Upon the Courts own motion. The Court has made this order of its own initiative without a hearing. If you object to the order, you must make an application to have it set aside, varied or stayed within 7 days ofreceiving it

 

IT IS ORDERED THAT

 

1. The matter be listed ofr an Allocation Hearing on 3 August 2007 at 10:45am for an estimated 15 minutes.

 

Dated 22 June 2007"

 

Can anybody give us an idea of what to expect and whether we need to prepare anything in advance? We already have all our correspondence, statements and schedule of charges put together in a folder and just need to make copies for the court/defendent, but we haven't been given any instructions.

 

I would be grateful for any help that you can offer.

 

Many Thanks
