DIRECTIONS ORDER

                 Backgrounds facts
                 1.     This matter was allocated to the Claimant's
                 Legal Services department in August 2017,
                 following many, complaints received from some
                 of the Claimant's employees and residents living
                 in the same block as the Defendant. The
                 Claimant's- anti-social Behaviour  team instructed
                 our legal services to issue an application for an
                 injunction under the Anti- Social Behaviour ,
                 Crime and Policing Act 2014.
                 2.     An ex-parte application was made and the
                 Court made an interim injunction order against the
                 Defendant on 09th August 2017. The matter was
                 re-listed for a return hearing on 21st August 2017
                 but adjourned to 25th September 2017 where the
                 Defendant attended with his legal representative.
                 The Defendant indicated that it wished to defend
                 the claim and some directions order was made.
                 3.     The parties were ordered to file their
                 directions questionnaire by 23rd October 2017;
                 however, this deadline was overlooked by me and
                 the Court made an order on 06th November 2017
                 asking the Claimant to file a completed directions
                 questionnaire by 4pm on 17th November 2017. A
                 copy of the Order can be found under exhibit U1_.
                 4.     On 17th November 2017 at 11:59, I sent
                 an email to the Court on the following address:
                 enauiries@edmonton.countvcourt.asi.Qov.uk.
                 with a copy of the Claimant’s directions
                 questionnaire. The Defendant's solicitors were
                 also copied into this email. A copy of this email is
                 attached in exhibit LI2.
                 5.     Just before filing the directions
                 questionnaire with the Court, I contacted the
                 Defendant’s solicitors on 16th November 2017,
                 Mr Emmanuel Onwusiri of VLS Solicitors, with a
                 suggested draft directions order. However, he
                 responded by saying that it was not necessary to
                 agree directions in the proposed form. He was
                 therefore fully aware of the fact that I was about to
                 file the Claimant’s directions questionnaire. A
                 copy of mv email correspondence to Mr Onwusiri
                 can be found in exhibit LI3.
