I need to leave about 9am so will be extremely tight, will likely end up calling them on my handsfree speaker on the way up there, then do a U-turn back home if they answer and confirm it is vacated.  ;D  That's fine by me though, just so pleased it's all (almost) over and eternally grateful for all your priceless, knowledgeable advice.

That's probably the best plan. You can still claim the costs of the travel at 45p/mile round trip and up to £95 for lost earnings. It is over as far as the claim is concerned. What you are doing now is getting your costs for their unreasonable behaviour. This is an "extra' for you and serves the morons at QDR right. They should stick to debt recovery rather than litigation as they are obviously crap at it.

Let us know how you get on.

Howdo, I attended Hertford County Court at 9.45am with all my paperwork just in case. I had called earlier in the morning but was still on hold by the time I was already halfway there so I thought I may aswell just hang up and attend.

The security check-in guy said my case wasn't listed so that so that kind of told me it had been vacated, but I went through the motions just in case.

I explained my situation to the usher and she said she will have a word with the judge to see what's what as soon as the court gets going.

She came out after a few mins and confirmed the hearing had been vacated and the case discontinued. She also noted my attendance, but when I queried costs she said it was a job for Watford County Court, and gave me a slip with their email address on (which I am already more than familiar with!).

I have already sent my costs to Watford twice, but perhaps I should email them to let them know I attended today?

Wait for other views, but I'd be minded to send a revised costs schedule that reflects the additional expense incurred by attending today, if the one you sent previously doesn't already account for this.

The old schedule reflected parking and attendance so should be up to date. I was thinking of something like this:

Quote
Dear Sir or Madam,

I write as the Defendant in the above matter.

Further to my earlier emails regarding my application for costs following the Claimant’s late Notice of Discontinuance, I confirm that I attended Hertford County Court today (20 November 2025) at 9:45am for the listed hearing time of 10:00am.

The court staff confirmed that the hearing had been vacated due to the Claimant’s discontinuance, and noted my attendance on the court file.

I respectfully renew my request for the court to consider my costs schedule already filed and served, on the basis of the Claimant’s unreasonable conduct throughout proceedings and the extremely late discontinuance.

Please confirm when this will be referred to a Judge.

Yours faithfully,

That’s good, but you need to add the additional costs of 1.5 hours round trip time to attend @ £24/hour, mileage for the round trip at 45p/mile, parking and attendance time at the court at £24/hour.

Create a supplemental costs schedule and attach it to this email:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I write as the Defendant in the above matter.

Further to my earlier emails regarding my application for costs following the Claimant’s late Notice of Discontinuance, I confirm that I attended Hertford County Court today (20 November 2025) at 9:45am for the hearing listed at 10:00am. I had received no notice from the court that the hearing had been vacated, and therefore attending in person was unavoidable.

Court staff confirmed that the hearing had been vacated due to the Claimant’s discontinuance, and noted my attendance on the file.

In addition to my previously submitted costs schedule, I now seek the further costs necessarily incurred today in attending the vacated hearing. These include:

– travel time (1.5 hours total)
– mileage/travel expenses
– court parking
– wasted preparation and attendance time

These costs arise solely because I was not informed that the hearing had been removed from the list.

I respectfully renew my request for the court to consider both my existing costs schedule and these additional wasted-journey costs, given the Claimant’s unreasonable conduct throughout proceedings and the extremely late discontinuance.

Please confirm when this will be referred to a Judge.

Yours faithfully,

Thank you very much once again, all done. Will let you know what the court come back with, just so you know. It will be great if they grant the full costs as I'm very much looking forward to sending QDR a reminder.
