Hello,
I have received a county court claim. I am currently completing forms N9A and N9B.
The "Particulars of Claim" only states (in my eyes inadequately): "...claim for payment of invoice xxxxxx for professional services in relation to a proposed extension at the Defendants address..."
1 When completing the "Defence" section (3) in the N9B, should I submit a full and comprehensive defence (including submission of all defence papers, statements, contracts etc.), or are the full defence papers submitted after the Directions / Allocation questionnaires are completed? How much detail is needed for this section of the form at this stage?
2 Given the rather flimsy statement in the "Particulars of Claim" above, would a judge, in realty, reject / dismiss the case (given the Civil Procedure Rules?
Thanks in advance.
