No stays in Scotland

[texel]

Great idea. Perhaps one of you experts could get up a protest that we could all sign and send to the authorities;)

It all depends how desperate you are to have the cash. If you can wait until Jan it will be easier claiming it all in one fell swoop best of luck anyway. I am presently doing a summary action on behalf of my son who can't wait for the cash:D !!!!!

I have had a sist refused three times by two different judges at Perth Sheriff Court

[texel]

to follow the above I used areport from the Govan Law Centre.

item 2 The general rule established fronm the case of Clydesdale Bank v D&H Cohen, 1943 SC244 is that itm is improper to sist a case pending t5he outcome of a similar one until the pleadings in both actions have been fully adjusted (i.e. finalised and closed). This decision haqs been upheld by the Inner House of the Court of Session and is therefore binding across Scotland. Hope this helps. You can check the Govan Law Centre website. Best of luck for you on the 9th. Don't worry about going before a judge. it is quite easy and they are there to help but not to give you legal advice. Let me know if I can be of further help:)

The judge did not tell me I could not use the example of the Cohen case. When the sol tried to use the the excuse that the OFT case might be settled I said that the case could be appealed and on to a higher court and eventually on the the european courts which could take years. That could be why the sists were refused. I would not ask for a timescale that would mean I was going along with the sist. I also used the hardship case and so far it worked I am now going to court on the 5th.Nov for what I hope will be the final time The reason it was not settled the last time was my fault not having sent the proof etc. two weeks before the hearing. I will be ready this time!!!

Yes use whatever you can. But if you are in a hardship situation definately use that. you can also use my situation having sists refused in perth Sheriff court on three occasions against BOS. I can't think of anything else at the moment. Best of luck. Let me know how you get on. Don't worry about the judge or if RBS has a lawyer present. I had one complete with wig on the five times i went against BOS. it is costin BOS much more paying a lawyer than what I am claiming of it is only £2500 plus expenses:D

Now you know what it is like going to court:) Not that bad? you will be easier the next time its a pity that that will not be until Dec. I had a similar situation in one of my many runs to court and you are right it did help getting my sist refused.

[texel]

tell the judge anything that would help your case hold nothing back. He/She does not know your background so use anything tht you think would be of help.

[texel]

If it was me I would start the court action who knows what will happen. Best of luck whatever you do:)
