So chaps, ITS THE OP!!!
I went in, literally there for 10 minutes and case dismissed!!!! Walked out relieved!
I didnt even get to have a say as the judge focused on the simple fact that she had no contract of law, she gave a letter to the judge which read the money was hers and thats why she was claiming it back however the judge stated the actual buyer is not in court so "I simply don't know what your doing here" and on that basis its dismissed. The ACTUAL claimant is welcome to reapply however judge didn't think it was best as he wasn't present to show any interest attending court to begin with.
She then argued and said she wants him to look into breach of data protection? Judge stated, its very technical and although she can take some course of action its not something which he would recommend due to being too technical and dropped that side of the claim too. Now I assume she's seen this post but looking back I haven't breached any of this anyway, name etc is data protection surely as it was to see her history with the courts etc.
I counter claimed for 2 days off work and judge rewarded 2hrs pay (for hearing only) so £20, paid for my parking
Case aside, I would like to thank you all for your support and helping me remain calm throughout. Of course will share my experiences with others going through a similar phase as I know how stressful it can be... Respect to all of you!!

Utterly ludicrous. Does make one worry about courts. Out of interest, was your car ever inspected for accident repair relating to the claim?
Yes, but it was organised by MY insurer, and a few weeks (at least) down the line. I'm not sure that delay helped my case at all. But this fella was claiming for thousands of pounds of impact damage, and there was clearly nothing corresponding with that on my car. The independent engineer who inspected the car said as much, and laughed my worries away. Thinking about it, maybe he did see me on the road? Maybe he had existing damage and perceived me to have "cut him up" or something, then he made the collision story up? Like I say, digging through it again after nearly six years won't help me to forgive and forget, nor will it change the outcome. At the time, though, I'd have loved to have had another chance at the case, to speak for myself in court rather than handing over to my largely inexperienced 'legal adviser'. But I signed off my right to defend myself when I put it in the hands of the insurer's legal department.I've no idea what led the judge to rule the way he did, I don't think he went into great detail in the court room. I just tried searching for the case out of interest, and looking for a judgement isn't quite as easy as I thought it might be in this online digital age. I always thought the courts and their judgements were "a matter of public record"...
king idiot. Judge's words regarding actual buyer not being arsed are quite telling. Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
