Ron. Sounds like you have/had good grounds to appeal against the decision of the "judge" based on what you say. From my little bit of research on the subject of "summary judgement", it seems to me that any defendant needs to make sure that their defence/counterclaim is pretty comprehensive.(posted 8210 days ago)I agree it's a good idea to have a solicitor present at the hearing, as he/she will know what to do if the worst happens.
