A colleague was recently heading nicely towards trial and paid the fee by quoting our Fee Account number. It was therefore a surprise to say the least, to have the case struck out. An application for reinstatement was successful and the original letter was on the Court file. There was no reimbursement of the application fee and delays of months were then caused. This was particularly annoying as our case was to evict a woman who was causing regular, and serious, anti-social behaviour towards her neighbours. I don't blame the Judges at all, it's the Court staff who, yes, might well be underpaid and over worked etc, but they could show some enthusiasm and commitment to their jobs.

I fear many more cases will be struck out now, only to be reinstated again.
