Dear Sir/Madam,
Re: Urgent Attention Required for Applications Submitted in April and May *
I am writing to express my serious concerns regarding the significant delays and lack of response to my applications submitted in April and May *. Despite multiple follow-ups, my applications remain unaddressed, which is severely impacting my ability to obtain a fair hearing.
Additionally, I wish to inform the court of the substantial failures and misconduct by multiple legal teams representing me, as well as the opposing solicitor’s actions, which have further hindered my ability to progress my case. My health has deteriorated due to these issues, and I have medical evidence to support this.
Specifically, my May application is requesting the court to set aside the extension of the interim NMO. I have sent in complaints and resubmitted my applications with supporting documents, yet no action has been taken. My last email to the court at the end of October *, asking to correct many errors in the sealed order under the slip rule, has also gone unanswered. The order was fabricated by my mum’s legal team, and this has been happening repeatedly since *.
Given the gravity of the situation, I kindly request the court to:
*. Expedite the review and decision on my pending applications.
*. Dismiss/set aside the NMO without a hearing due to the extenuating circumstances, including my mum's deafness.
Your prompt attention to this matter is crucial to ensure justice is served and my rights are protected.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Signature]

My last email to the court at the end of October *, asking to correct many errors in the sealed order under the slip rule, has also gone unanswered. The order was fabricated by my mum’s legal team, and this has been happening repeatedly since *.
Furthermore, there are issues with the court transcripts from hearings in *, which do not reflect what was said in court. My appeal failed in May *, and the transcript company informed me that I need to listen to the court audio. However, when I requested this in March *, court staff dismissed my request. This matter is included in my complaint to the court and in one of the small claims applications currently pending.
Given the gravity of the situation, I kindly request the court to:
*. Expedite the review and decision on my pending applications.
*. Dismiss/set aside the NMO without a hearing due to the extenuating circumstances, including my mum's deafness.
*. Allow access to the court audio for the hearings in * to ensure accurate transcripts.

Re: Application for Correction of Court Transcripts for Hearings in *
I am writing to formally request the correction of the court transcripts for the hearings held in November * in relation to the case [Case Number].

- I have previously requested access to the court audio recordings to verify the discrepancies, but this request was dismissed.
- Accurate transcripts are essential for ensuring a fair hearing and proper adjudication of my case.
Supporting Evidence:
- Correspondence with the court and the transcript company indicating the discrepancies.
- Details of the specific errors identified in the transcripts.
Request:
- I respectfully request the court to grant access to the audio recordings of the hearings in *.

Dear [Solicitor's Name],
Re: Default Judgment on [Date of Judgment]
I am writing to you regarding the default judgment entered against me on [Date of Judgment] in relation to the claim [Claim Number].
As you are aware, I have been unwell, with medical evidence to support this, and have also experienced three bereavements in the last month. Additionally, your firm has been handling my family matter, where I have faced significant issues due to the incorrect and incomplete advice provided by your firm, as well as the failure to prepare my witness statement within the agreed timeframe.
I acknowledge receipt of your letter of claim from July * and the claim sent around Christmas time, which I did not receive due to postal issues during that period. Given these circumstances, I am requesting:
*. A copy of the claim form and any related documents that were sent to me.
*. The date the claim was issued and evidence of it being sent to me.
*. An explanation as to why my complaint, dated [Date of Complaint], was not upheld, and why the judgment was pursued despite my ongoing health issues and the bereavements I have suffered.
I would like to emphasize that the misleading information provided in your letter dated * October, which suggested that my next step was to go to the Legal Ombudsman within 6 months, has significantly affected my ability to address this matter.
I am currently preparing to apply to set aside the default judgment and would appreciate your prompt cooperation in providing the requested documents and explanations.
Please respond to this letter within 7 days to avoid further escalation of this matter.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Signature]
