Jenny would have to prove they were Scumbags not them prove they were not.

Had she declared them to be scumbags maybe, but did she ?

>> "Could be their insurers are scumbags."

Now how long could you debate that in court ? I'd say this is a question even without a question mark. She is basically saying "on available evidence it is possible that they are scumbags but I do not know for sure".

Remarkably good spade you wield Sir.

I am sure anyone reading this thread will realise why so many cases come to court and why sometimes one sides lawyer cannot fathom what the other one is on about

As fun as this got, the OP may have missed the very sound advice offered by Bob to go the Civil Court route. That undoubtedly will concentrate the mind of the other party.

Good clear advice on the Direct Gov Website here

I agree.

The only caveat is the claim must be under 5k to be a small claim.

It pays to be a little more cautious if it isn't.

As I said a good 20 minutes debate [STRIKE][/STRIKE] or should I say 30 minutes now... at least we are debating the English language (not Essex slang)....

I know Terry what you are saying and others, but I doubt you would like a swiping statement made about your own professions .. I do not consider the actions of the Toad makers Insurance or there Solicitors to warrant the word Scumbag... They are doing the job as I would or any lawyer would.. delay and argue. It is for the person who is making the claim to push it along to get his end result.

I wish him good luck as I have from when he first reported the issues a little way back. This is not an uncommon situation in respect of delay to try and get the claimant to fold. But I just repeat it is not reasonable to use the word Scumbag... if for example the insurance company were to see those remarks (OK they are not names) then the issue of libel could arise. Jenny would have to prove they were Scumbags not them prove they were not. There are better ways to describe the delaying attics of the insurance company and there solicitors. But even if one person takes offence that is one to many.

I have made my point. I rest my case.

Bob..... now 40 minutes of the day wasted.

Had to check to see if I was right!

Well Bob if you have rested your case I offer you the hand of friendship to help you out of the big hole you have dug yourself into
Upon reading Jenny's post yet again and other posts------------
Could be their insurers are scumbags. Or their insurers solictors are ditto --------------
It has become clear to me I got it wrong oh: It now clearly states that they could be scumbags and not that they are==so I was wrong in thinking that it refereed only to the ones on the case she is merely expressing that they could be
