DIRECTIONS ORDER
Defendant was due to allegations of verbal abuse,
threats, harassment and intimidation made against
him by some of his neighbours
2. I make this Witness Statement in support of
the Claimant's application dated 08th January
2018. This is my second witness statement in
the above proceedings.
Backgrounds to the case
3. The Claimant obtained an interim injunction
against the Defendant on 09th August 2017
under claim number D02ED073. On 13th
December 2017, the Court made an order
striking out the Claimant's claim on the basis
that it failed to file its direction questionnaire
on 17th November 2017 as directed. The
Court stated that it received the Claimant's
questionnaire on 20th November 2017 and
therefore ordered that the Claim be struck out
and that the interim injunction order be
discharged.
4. The Claimant's solicitor emailed the
Edmonton County Court on 14th November
2017 asking that the Claim be reinstated as it
had filed its direction questionnaire on 17th
November at 11.59 and was therefore within
time. The email has not been responded to
until today.
5. On 03rd January 2018, the Claimant filed an
application notice at the Court by email asking
for the Claim to be reinstated. The application
was filed after the Court served an order dated
02nd January 2018 ordering the Claimant to
pay the Defendant’s legal costs. A copy of the
application notice can be found under exhibit
LN01.
