Re: Collins v The Oakfield

Hello,

I have just had a meeting with a new client Andrew Collins; 12Linthorpe Street, Hartlepool TS25 7BG. Following from our initial interview he has instructed our firm to act on his behalf in relation to an accident he had whilst out for dinner with work colleagues at a local restaurant ‘The Oakfield’.

I have researched the injuries suffered by Andrew Collins and the guidelines indicate that compensation is likely to fall at £15,000 for the injuries he sustained. I have already put this figure to Andrew who has agreed and instructed us to start proceedings.

I need you to write a letter (Task 1)to Andrew Collins advising the following:

1.    Pre-action steps we need to take and why
2.    Inform him of the procedure for commencing his claim and
3.    Advise him on how it will be decided which track the claim will be allocated.

N.B All correspondence/court documents from this firm but be sent in my name.

Thanks

Joe

Document 3

Thank you for writing the letter to Mr Collins, unfortunately the defendants have failed to respond to any of our correspondence and requests for ADR. As the defendants have failed to answer we need to commence proceedings. I would be obliged if you could complete the N1 form on Mr Collin’s behalf (Task 2).
