" Oh Stop Being Such A Nob!"

To parphrase a recent exchange in correspondence with another solicitor;

Them "Your witness statements were one day late in the post, we're going to ask the court to say you can't use them. Na na na na na, and you smell!"

Lippy " Yes they were a day late, very sorry. However there is no trial date in sight, the court will allow us to use them, perhaps with a small costs penalty as it is in the clear interests of justice that they should do so. Haven't you got enough work to do? Love and kisses Lippy."

Yes there are technical points to be taken in legal cases and yes they are important for the fair and expenditious disposal of the case. But there are also jobsworth nobs with no brains working in law firms all around the country sending out stupid pointless letters at their client's expense!

Currently running a similar case with a fraudulent firm. They've got us on a technicality. We've got 'em on fraud. Fraudulent use of charity funding, what's more.

Which one of us will win in court, I wonder?

Aunty M - if you are in the English courts shout loudly about the "over riding objective" which is that justice should be acheived at a cost proportionate to the importance of the issues involved and you should win, unless of course your "technicality" is a limitation point and then you're knackered!
