My application to reduce the monthly instalments which I am paying to chief executive Mark James was heard at Carmarthen County Court yesterday. I was asking to vary the Order made on 23rd March 2017 when Mr James was granted an Order for Sale, the Order was suspended as long as I made monthly payments to him of £250 for fifteen years.
I represented myself at the hour long hearing yesterday, along with my husband.
Mr James, who was opposing my application, and was not present at the hearing, was represented by a legal team of three from Cardiff Bay.
I am pleased to say that the judge decided to reduce the instalments from £250 to £165 per month; it wasn't quite what I'd asked for but this reduction helps us a great deal.
Attempts were made prior to the hearing to persuade me to withdraw my application under the threat of costs. However, after the ruling the judge decided that I only had to pay £500 towards Mr James' £2500 costs bill, to be added onto the total debt.
Mr James will have to pay the balance of £2000 to his lawyers himself.
I am pleased with the outcome of the hearing.
I won't be publishing comments on this post, but once again, many thanks for the messages of support.
