The rules state:

2.5  If the claim form does not show a full address, including postcode, at which the claimant(s) and defendant(s) reside or carry on business, the claim form will be issued but will be retained by the court and will not be served until the claimant has supplied a full address, including postcode, or the court has dispensed with the requirement to do so.

3. Why has no application been made to strike out the case?
4. Why has the claimant seemingly been afforded leniency, especially following Barton v Wright Hassall?
