Chelfat v Hutchinson 3G UK Ltd: CA 6 Apr 2022

Whether the appellant’s failure to complete Form N510 (in relation to service out of the jurisdiction) entitled the court to refuse to issue the claim form that she had sent to them prior to the expiry of the limitation period. When she eventually discovered the court’s refusal, the appellant provided what she called a replacement claim form, which the court issued; but the claim based on the replacement form was struck out because by then the claim had become statute-barred.
