Tuco has stated that he has won in court. According to detailed statements later, none of the DCAs actually took him to court. I think it most probable that they dropped it because they would have to pay a solicitor to read his nonsense, which would cost considerably more than the £2,000 in question.
Not good enough Arthur I'm afraid.
What you think "most probable" is irrelevant. You know the drill.
I find it strange that both bottled it don't you? Just think if you & the Quatools gang were around eh? These DCAs would be much more in pocket. You clearly all know better than they do.
In the first instance, the DCA issued proceedings, a solicitor was engaged. I then issued a counterclaim.
From memory, the sum in question was circa £8k. Now the DCA had already paid the solicitor for the preparation as well as the issuing fee. The only real costs left were the "on the day" fees. I'd say the hearing would have been set for 3 hours and that the fees incurred would have been less than £2k. I think that even you and your blinkered mates would be pushed to justify withdrawing at that stage. The mathematics show that it was commercially viable to proceed.
