Horizon Claim

[mouse]

Thank you for confirming all that info it really does help. 


A wild amount when it should be nothing but I assumed it would be the higher one. I didn't want Gladstone's having my phone number but it will be on the email for the court, not sure if there's a way they don't have access to it. 

Thanks again

Morning @b789

So had an email from the court this morning saying:

I refer to your below email, due to it exceeding 50 pages or having a total size (including attachments and any photocopies the court is required to make) of 10 megabytes it cannot be accepted by email, as per CPR PD 5b (2.3). Please note that we require applications and any supporting evidence in triplicate (3 copies) and whilst one copy is within the limit, if we print 3 copies it will exceed the 50 page limit.

Please also note that also under CPR PD 5b, multiple emails cannot be used to file one document or application with the court.

I will now print it all and send it off to the court. Am I right in reading the want 3 copies of it all for the application being sent to the court?

More time faffing about which I am sure Gladstones are lapping up. I will keep you updated as I hear back.

Have a great day.

You don't have to print it out if it is less than 25 A4 pages (50 sides). If your file size is too bib, make sure you compress the images and the PDFs to amore manageable size. A simple N244 application such as this should not be that big unless you have used massive files sizes.

There are plenty of PDF and image compression sites you can use to reduce the file sizes.

The attachments are 1mb total, and 29 pages. I would have compressed them if I thought I would have run into issues on the size. They are just PDFs of the emails and the forms. is it worth contacting them again stating that it is well under the limit. Thanks

[b789]

Yes. If it is only 29 pages total and about 1 MB, it is comfortably within the email limits. That is nowhere near 25 sheets/50 sides of A4 when printed double-sided, so there is no point arguing with the court about it further. Just file it by email. If they still refuse for some reason, then it can be printed and posted, but on those figures it ought to be acceptable by email.

The practical point is that the page and size limits are only really relevant to the court’s copy because that is the copy the court may have to print onto the paper file.

There is no need to worry about those limits for the claimant’s copy or your own copy. Gladstones can be served electronically and you can keep your own electronic set without any issue. So the only question is whether the pack being emailed to the court fits within the County Court email limits. On 29 pages (sides of A4) total, it plainly does.

Appreciate that, I will question it and get back to you with what they say. Gladstones were CC'd in too so should be aware of it unless they no longer read their emails. They certainly don't reply anymore!! 

Have a good evening.
