From what I can understand of the BT solicitors intention is that they intend to deny responsibility for anything thats mentioned. They insist that I should show proof of my claim [good job I followed advice from members about plenty of pics]. Most of the paperwork I received from them seems to concern them being able to claim through this court action from their contractors if the court should find against them with my claim.
I am not positive but they seem to me to be piggybacking little me's claim as a way of not having to pay out anything to anyone. Very impressive for a big company I'm sure.
Why they couldnt deal with their contractors after the case is decided is beyond me.
It is a worry that these people through experience know exactly what they are doing and they are manouvering me into a position whereby they can stitch me up. Still I'll know more next week one way or another, fingers crossed.

Dont let BT's actions get you down, the small claims court are VERY used to dealing with big companys delaying tacticts and it dosnt impress them one bit. You have to remember that a small claims case ISNT delt with in a tratitional court room but actually almost totally in the judges "chambers" (small meating room) in a much more "informal" suituation. The actions of big representation in small claims actually has an adverse affect on a case.
