one for barmaid

[jaycee401]

hi barmaid, you give some really helpful replies, can I ask you I recently was the respondant in a land reg hearing (ex trying to claim property back he transfered to me saying it was not properly executed as his witness did not actuallu see him sign the transfer, although he is not denying signing it! If that fails he wants to claim a beneficial interest. All through the 2 yrs its taken to get to the hearing his legal rep has missed every deadline the land reg have set, he never put forward the allocation questionaire, then a week before the hearing date they ask and thankfully it was rejected for an extension of time. They should of sent everyone involved in the hearing a trial bundle 10 days prior to the hearing he gave them on the morning, the adjudicator got his the night before at his hotel! As time ran out on the day each side has now been given 28 days to finalise everything. We get to see what they put forward but they dont get to see what we put forward. then the adjudicator will give a written decision. Also when the adjudicator mentioned costs, saying that although not definate the looser may have to pay the other sides costs when he asked if anyone objected my solicitor said no, his said that his client could not afford to pay the other sides costs, to which the adjudicator replied, weel if thats the case you should not of brought it to a hearing!! My question is will the adjudicator pose any santions on them for not adhering to the directions, because nothing was said about it at the hearing apart from at the end when he gave us extra time, he looked straight at his solicitor and said of you dont need all the 28 days then don't take them. Thanks
