Key passages (verbatim)
“On the basis of the evidence before us, we are satisfied on the balance of probabilities that the Respondent served a copy of the notice of intention on the Applicant.”
“we do not accept the Applicant's arguments and are satisfied that this amount too is payable in full.”
“The charge having been withdrawn, there is no basis for any continuing dispute.”
“The charge having been withdrawn, there is again no basis for any continuing dispute.”
“the Applicant concedes in his application that the full amount of this charge has been refunded”
“it appears that the Applicant has had to battle for a long time in order to persuade the Respondent to concede these points.”
“The Applicant's written submissions in this case have been very long but they have also in the main been very unfocused. Although this is understandable to some extent as he is not legally qualified, nevertheless it has been extremely difficult to understand the relevance of most of his written submissions in the context of the real issues in this case.”
