Mr M Allen v Dinosaur Merchant Bank Ltd: 2204845/2019
JUDGMENT
By 26 March 2020 the Claimant shall pay the Respondent by its solicitors the sum of £640 plus vat = £768REASONS
The Tribunal issued standard directions by letter dated 15/11/2019. I find that those directions were received by the Claimant. Under those directions the Claimant was required by 13/12/2019 to set out in writing the remedy he claimed and send a copy to the Respondent. By 24/1/2020 the Claimant was required to send a list of documents to the Respondent. The Respondent has complied with the directions but, notwithstanding numerous attempts by the Respondent’s Solicitors to encourage him, the Claimant has failed to comply by the due dates or at all. The Respondent’s solicitors have been put (in communicating with the Claimant and compiling an indexed bundle which will now have to be revised) to billable wasted and extra work as a consequence, to the extent of at least £640 plus vat. The Claimant has so far conducted the case unreasonably and it is just and equitable that he re-imburse the Respondent in this regard.
