Deadline Extension For Response

Hi ****! Generally, if a deadline falls on a weekend or a public holiday, you can usually respond on the next working day. So in this case, you can send your response on Monday.
Do you have any other questions or need further assistance with this matter?

Of course, ****! Please provide me with a brief background of the situation, including any relevant details about why you believe you do not owe any money to the company. This will help me in drafting a letter for you.

It sounds like you're dealing with a significant issue involving the Court of Protection and a firm that did not fulfill their duties. Here are some steps you can take:
- Clearly outline the deficiencies in the assessment and communicate them to the Court of Protection.
- Document all your communications and agreements with the firm.
- If the firm failed to meet their obligations, you might consider filing a complaint with the Legal Ombudsman.
Would you like any further assistance with drafting a letter or any other aspect of this issue?

It sounds like a very difficult situation. Here are a few steps you can take:
- Consider appealing the Court of Protection's final order if you have grounds.
- File a complaint with the Legal Ombudsman regarding the solicitors who took your money but did not provide the services.
- Document all instances of your mother's abuse and report them to Adult Social Care.
Would you like guidance on how to appeal the final order or assistance with filing a complaint with the Legal Ombudsman?

Dear [Solicitor's Name],
RE: RESPONSE TO YOUR LETTER BEFORE ACTION
I am writing in response to your letter dated [date of their letter], in which you demand payment of [amount] by 10am on * March. I do not owe this amount, and I refute your claim for the following reasons:
*. Unfulfilled Services: You were instructed to carry out specific work related to a Court of Protection order, which you failed to complete. This includes conducting a capacity assessment and submitting questions by the agreed deadline.
*. Incorrect Client Care Letter: The client care letter provided an incorrect fee, which was never amended despite my requests.
*. Misrepresentation and Fabrication: The attendance note you provided is fabricated and does not accurately reflect our communication. I expressly informed you to stop the work as it was clear you were not going to complete the agreed task.
*. Intimidation and Threats: I received a threatening call related to my Court of Protection application, which I reported to the Court.
Given these points, I request that you cease any legal threats and withdraw your claim. Should you proceed, I will have no option but to file a formal complaint with the Legal Ombudsman and consider further legal action.
Please confirm receipt of this letter and your agreement to withdraw the claim by [date - usually within 7 days].

- New Evidence: If you have new evidence or any reason that justifies an extension of time, clearly state these in your request.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Re: Request for Extension of Time – Appeal No. [Appeal No. *]
I am writing to request an extension of time for my appeal, Appeal No. *, due to the following reasons:
*. New Claim Introduced Without Prior Notification: The refusal to grant an extension of time relies on a new claim that was never previously put to me. This constitutes an ambush, and I need additional time to address this unexpected claim adequately.
*. Incorrect Email Address: The refusal decision mentions an email sent to me on * November * from my legal representative to an incorrect email address. Both the Employment Tribunal (ET) and EAT have the correct address of my legal representative, who stopped trading just as I received the judgments on * November *.
*. Errors in Judgment: The EAT judgment in Appeal No. * contained numerous errors, which I have documented and was granted permission to appeal by the Court of Appeal on one ground. The remaining grounds must also be allowed due to other errors in that judgment.
*. Pro Bono Legal Representative: My legal representative was acting pro bono, and her cessation of trading has further complicated my ability to proceed with the appeal within the usual time limits.
*. Bias Concerns: There are significant concerns about bias in the handling of my case, as evidenced by the random introduction of text in the judgments and the misrepresentation of email communications.
Given these points, I respectfully request an extension of time to properly address the new claim and the errors in the judgment. I am awaiting a response from the EAT regarding the source of the new claim, as it is not present in the respondent’s submissions.
Please confirm receipt of this request and provide further instructions on how to proceed.

*. No Need for Initial Extension Request: The initial hurdle of requesting an extension of time for Appeal No. * was unnecessary, as I was within the *-day limit for submitting Appeals No. * and No. * (part of Appeal No. *) from * November when I received the written reasons.
*. Ambush at Merits Hearing: The respondent ambushed the merits hearing by going for a strike out, concealing their submissions and intentions, arguing that no fair hearing was possible. Two months prior, I had disclosed an audio recording of my dismissal meeting where I informed the employer of my disability. The respondent falsified documents to create a false narrative that I did not have a disability and that they were unaware of it. This appeal needs to be allowed, their defense fails, and I should be awarded compensation with a *% uplift for breaching the ACAS Code in falsifying records.
Given these points, I respectfully request an extension of time to properly address the new claim and the errors in the judgment. I am awaiting a response from the EAT regarding the source of the new claim, as it is not present in the respondent’s submissions.
Please confirm receipt of this request and provide further instructions on how to proceed.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir/Madam,
Re: Request for Extension of Time – Appeal No. [Appeal No. *]
I am writing to request an extension of time for my appeal, Appeal No. *, due to the following reasons:
*. New Claim Introduced Without Prior Notification: The refusal to grant an extension of time relies on a new claim that was never previously put to me. This constitutes an ambush, and I need additional time to address this unexpected claim adequately.
*. Incorrect Email Address: The refusal decision mentions an email sent to me on * November * from my legal representative to an incorrect email address. Both the Employment Tribunal (ET) and EAT have the correct address of my legal representative, who stopped trading just as I received the judgments on * November *.
*. Errors in Judgment: The EAT judgment in Appeal No. * contained numerous errors, which I have documented and was granted permission to appeal by the Court of Appeal on one ground. The remaining grounds must also be allowed due to other errors in that judgment.
*. Pro Bono Legal Representative: My legal representative was acting pro bono, and her cessation of trading has further complicated my ability to proceed with the appeal within the usual time limits.
*. Bias Concerns: There are significant concerns about bias in the handling of my case, as evidenced by the random introduction of text in the judgments and the misrepresentation of email communications.
*. No Need for Initial Extension Request: The initial hurdle of requesting an extension of time for Appeal No. * was unnecessary, as I was within the *-day limit for submitting Appeals No. * and No. * (part of Appeal No. *) from * November when I received the written reasons.

Two months prior, I had disclosed an audio recording of my dismissal meeting where I informed the employer of my disability. The respondent falsified documents to create a false narrative that I did not have a disability and that they were unaware of it. This appeal needs to be allowed, their defense fails, and I should be awarded compensation with a *% uplift for breaching the ACAS Code in falsifying records.
*. Confirmed Disability Status: I won the disability status in this matter, which was based on the same facts as in Appeal No. *, which is currently at the Court of Appeal.
Given these points, I respectfully request an extension of time to properly address the new claim and the errors in the judgment. I am awaiting a response from the EAT regarding the source of the new claim, as it is not present in the respondent’s submissions.
Please confirm receipt of this request and provide further instructions on how to proceed.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Re: Request to Transfer Case to the Court of Appeal
I am writing to request the transfer of my case from the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) to the Court of Appeal due to significant procedural errors and concerns about bias that have severely impacted my case.
Case Details:
- Appeal No. *: Currently at the Court of Appeal, granted permission to appeal on one ground.
- Appeal No. *: Refusal to grant an extension of time based on new claims not previously notified.
- Appeal No. *: Part of Appeal No. *, also impacted by procedural errors and bias.
Reasons for Transfer:
*. New Claim Introduced Without Prior Notification: The EAT refused to grant an extension of time based on a new claim that was never previously put to me, constituting an ambush.
*. Incorrect Email Address: The refusal decision mentions an email sent to me from my legal representative to an incorrect email address. Both the ET and EAT have the correct address of my legal representative.
*. Errors in Judgment: The EAT judgment in Appeal No. * contains numerous errors. The Court of Appeal granted permission to appeal on one ground, but the remaining grounds must also be allowed due to other errors.
*. Pro Bono Legal Representative: My legal representative was acting pro bono and stopped trading, complicating my ability to proceed within the usual time limits.
*. Bias Concerns: Significant concerns about bias in the handling of my case, evidenced by the random introduction of text in judgments and misrepresentation of email communications.
*. Ambush at Merits Hearing: The respondent ambushed the merits hearing by going for a strike out, concealing submissions and intentions and arguing that no fair hearing was possible. They falsified documents to create a false narrative about my disability status.
*. Counsel's Failure to Submit Appeals: Despite finding new counsel in November *, who agreed to prepare the grounds for these appeals, he failed to submit them, significantly impacting my ability to meet deadlines.
*. Confirmed Disability Status: I won the disability status in this matter based on the same facts as in Appeal No. *.
Given these points, I respectfully request that my case be transferred to the Court of Appeal to ensure a fair and unbiased hearing.
Please confirm receipt of this request and provide further instructions on how to proceed.

RE: Extension of Time for Appeals
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding the handling of my appeals. As you are aware, I retained your services in the second/third week of November * to prepare and submit the grounds for Appeal Nos. * and *.
Despite our agreement, the grounds for these appeals were not submitted within the *-day limit, and I was informed on * December that you were on a plane to South Africa and would not be completing the work by the deadline. This has significantly impacted my case and my ability to meet the necessary deadlines.
I understand from your recent communication that you do not consider the request for an extension of time to be part of your responsibilities. However, as my legal representative, it is imperative that you foresee and address all procedural requirements related to the appeals you were instructed to handle. The extension of time is a critical component of ensuring that my appeals are properly prepared and submitted.
Given these circumstances, I would appreciate your immediate assistance in filing the request for an extension of time. This request is directly related to the grounds of appeal you were retained to prepare, and it is essential for the continued pursuit of my case.
Please confirm your willingness to assist with this matter as soon as possible. If you are unable to do so, I will need to seek alternative legal representation to ensure that my appeals are properly managed.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.
