Summoned to County Court

[eggsarascal]

They will normally ask to see proof of earnings for the year ie from Tax return and base it on that , you will hear all sort of stories of mates telling you to say you had a big job planned etc and going to loose thousands. Take no notice.

They use the same process has loss of earnings if you lose work after a accident etc for self employed, take your profit figure and they divided it by there figure, if my memory serves me correct. , a good friend went through this for court and myself after losing work after a crash . Long winded affair .

Travel expenses etc are standard across the board and pay out immediately so you not completely out of pocket.

Being self employed has it down falls in cases like this were has you would normally be getting a wage and havin a jolly day out if you were employed by someone.

Not sure if this will help but might be worth a read.

Hey Bod, did you get a cheque along with the summons? Also did you get further payment on the second day of the hearing? ThAnKs Bod EgG.

 

Egg mate:thumbup1: mate:thumbdown::thumbup1: its sounds like your case is in a magistrates court regarding legal proceedings. Costs on that will be like the paltry sum you get if you have to do jury service, you can claim/prove what you like but they have the last say. The one I went to was for civil proceedings and the question of costs was asked at the end when the case was won, they paid in full because they are not dishing out their own money :thumbup1:mate:thumbup1:

Bill who? The company that I'm a witness for, can I do that legally?

 

I've looked on the Interweb and can't find anything that clearly states what a self employed person is entitled to claim.
