Court made an error

[PinkFizz]

I was due to go to a court hearing today with regards to a court fund that my son has,and my ex-husband was to attend as well.In fact the purpose of the hearing was that my ex was trying to take over from me as litigation friend.I wrote to the court explaining that I could not attend as I had a broken foot,and wrote down a statement of facts and why I should stay as litigation friend.The hearing was yesterday.I rang up to ask whether it had been adjourned till I was able to drive and was told that they clerks had forgotten to put my letter before the judge and so he had assumed I had just not turned up,and has taken control of the fund from me and given it to my ex-husband.Can I do anything about this?

You should be able to do something. You can appeal against most decisions.

ignore the last post PF, I think that was uncalled for.

I dont know the way that courts work but Im sure that as it has been admitted that a clerk was responsible for the info not getting to the right people that you should be entitled to appeal.

Speak to your solicitor

horsetache1 - if you have nothing constructive to say then don't bother.No I cannot get a damn taxi 2 hours away!!
I have broken my foot and I rang the court last week who said I did not have to attend,just to write in and that would be fine.But the court clerk forgot to give the judge the letter.
As for the other thread,it is called lightening up a friday and making others smile,which it has,apart from you.Now sod off!!

Oh bloody hell, Pink..what a palaver! as red & ummmm have said, you can appeal even if the court hadn't made an error ~ so you should definately be heard.

Ignore the person behind the curtain..they are of no consequence ;o)

Completely and utterly wrong horsetache1. If you are bored enough to read all my old posts at least read them correctly.

Just to let you know,that the judge has cancelled the judgement he made in my absence when he realised that I did in fact write in,and he has rescheduled the hearing for 2 weeks time.
