Asking the judge how I decide what my "damages" are will be worth it.

I can't see how it would be equitable for all of the "work" caused by the breach of the regulations to not be covered, but I have a feeling you may be right. If it is just the work involved in preparing the court case though, one can see how "sending a written notice before action" and other work might be allowed... I'd love to know.RevKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369263214193333422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-28910075910521717232013-07-08T13:21:13.786+01:002013-07-08T13:21:13.786+01:00Am I right in thinking that the small claims court...Am I right in thinking that the small claims court won't allow you to increase your claim to cover the time-cost of dealing with this?Steve Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09798286430189689578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-31682101624664789082013-07-08T12:33:07.628+01:002013-07-08T12:33:07.628+01:00So the agreement couldn't have been written be...So the agreement couldn't have been written before they sent the "settlement" (as it references your blog post made after you received it) so it was therefore impossible (apart from with time travel) for them to say the settlement was subject to an agreement they couldn't have written.
