"When he returned to the court the following day, it turned out that he had the wrong claim form. Surely then, even if he had been seen the day before, the claim form would still have been wrong and the claim therefore still wouldn't have been issued in time. "

The courts were criticized in the past for taking too strict a view by rejecting claims because they were not on the correct form. That was some time before the Reformation. I thought we had moved on since then.

As was common ground in the case, he had all the correct information he needed for issue, it just had the wrong printed heading.
