@dimebagslash, that's fantastic news. Not unexpected of course, but always a relief when dealing with "judge bingo". Also, good news that not only was the CCJ set aside but the claim was also thrown out.
Can you please give a bit more detail on what actually happened on the day. Did the claimants representative try to chat with you before the hearing? What was the judges demeanour. What was said by whoever.
What exactly did the judge say about costs? Do not assume anything yet about costs until you see the sealed order. If the order includes the application fee or other costs, then that is dealt with. If it is silent on costs, then the order will need to be read as drawn.
For now, the main thing is to wait for the sealed order and check the exact wording. Once it arrives, show it and I can confirm precisely where matters stand.
As I noted early on, this is one of the very rare instances that a DCB Legal issued claim actually reaches a hearing. However, as is almost always the case with these bulk litigation firms, they are invariably incompetent and are usually defeated if the claim actually reaches a hearing stage, which is why they usually discontinue before.
Once again, well done for persevering and I hope it was a valuable life lesson on how to stand up for your rights and not to fear the court system, for these types of disputes.
