Re: High Court Procedure

are you bringing the case, or is it being brought against you?
 
Re: High Court Procedure

The case is being taken against me.

then if you have received the Writ or Summons, the case has commenced. have you received any documentation?
 
Re: High Court Procedure:when an application to the high court has been made against

No, I have not received any documentation so far. I'm at the stage where I am being threatened with high court action.

Contact the court register. Perhaps engage a solicitor to make these enquiries on your behalf.

6. I beleive that the person taking the high court action has to show they have the finance to take a high court action.

In this case I think the person taking the hight court action does not have the finance, so will have to borrow.

What I'm trying to figure out is how they prove they have the finance? What form does this proof take? and what stage during proceedings will they have to show proof?
 
Re: High Court Procedure:when an application to the high court has been made against

What makes you think that the person taking the Hih Court Action has to have the finance to take it. What happens if they use a 'No win No fee Legal team'. Think you might be incorrect there. It costs thousands for both parties in a Hgh Court Case and adequate finance has no part to play in it from a Plaintiff viewpoint.

You can do a search of High Court cases on courts.ie website if they have already started by searching under the surnames of the parties involved. If the other party's solicitor is only threatening high court proceedings they more than likely have not yet commenced. When they commence the proceedings they would have to serve you with a copy of the summons or writ. You have a certain time then to enter an appearance to the proceedings (advisable to get a solicitor to do this) and then file your defence. The length of High Court cases can vary but are usually measured in years as opposed to months. They can be very expensive depending on the type of action taken and if you lose you could end up paying both sides costs. Sometimes the Court will ask a party to show they have security to pay the costs (usually after an application by the otherside) but this does not occur for every High Court case.

If you are been threatened with a High Court Action you should really get legal advice asap.

Greenhat if the person taking action against you is seeking an injunction against you before the trial then they would have to give an undertaking in damages to the court. This basically means that if they are unsuccessful at the trial of the action they have to satisfy the court that they would be able to compensate you for any loss you may suffer as a result of having the injunction against you. Is that perhaps what you are asking about?
