Handing Down Of Judgement

[uncletom6]

We have won a civil court matter (Claimants). The handing down of the judgement is next week. We are hoping that there will be an oral hearing of an application for an order for costs. The defendant has now 'sacked' the barrister he used for the court hearing and has not been in touch with him since despite the barrister making attempts to contact him. Does both the defendant and claimant have to attend the judgement. The defendant has already pledged he has no money and no income etc, conveniently transferred properties (at nil value) and emptied bank accounts to his wife. All this during the court proceedings. We are now going to apply to have these property transactions revoked as they were intended to deprive his creditors of money owed. During the court case he was to disclose all his assets which he did not. So we are now applying to have all his assets disclosed as we know he has money. He receives a private pension but none of this was disclosed. If he still does not disclose everything is there any way a credit check could be done on him so we know exactly what bank accounts he holds. We also know he has ISA's but again unless he discloses this how can we find out who they are with? We don;t think he will turn up fir the handing own of the judgement. All our solicitors correspondence to him is being ignored. Also the matrimonial home is owned solely by his wife. They have been married for around 12 years so our solicitor says he has a beneficial interest in the property and we can apply to have a notice attached to it. In court he was inferring that she was now his ex wife so our solicitor has asked for proof of the divorce.

Thank you. We won £35k plus around £20k costs. Its going to be a slog getting it back but we have come this far and are not giving up now. I keep asking the solicitor but never seem to get a straight answer.
