I'm still awaiting directions following a CMC I attended 6 months ago. The court (which shall remain unnamed) has somehow lost the file. There has been no response to correspondence to suggest how the court proposes to remedy this.

No doubt we will be required to file everything again, attend another CMC (there being no record of the order handed down) and start the process all over again.

Can you imagine the disciplinary action which would follow if a solicitor lost a client file, didn't own up to it and didn't propose any solution?

And it's not just missing files. It's correspondence and applications returned for no explicable reason, default judgment requests rejected because the court staff (wrongly) disagree with the interest calculations... you name it.

We really ought to be able to apply to obtain a wasted costs order against the court for stupid mistakes of this sort.
