Feedback

“Sarah Chatburn has represented me on three occasions, at County Court regarding two cases of misrepresentation of a motor vehicle. This case in particular Thompson vs Mr X we won the trial on the 28th of September 22 for misrepresentation of a motor vehicle, and I have to say Sarah was phenomenal as the Judge put, both parties under extreme pressure at the trial. The defendant, Mr X lodged an appeal and didn’t follow procedure or court orders. So the matter was brought before the judge on the 28th of June. To decide if Mr X’s application to set aside the judgement and application to appeal would succeed. This is where Sarah came in, and she had less than one week to prepare for the hearing and boy did she prepare for the hearing. The skeleton argument, Sarah prepared, was undeniably the winning factor at the hearing along with my witness statement. Costs were also recovered from the other party. So it was a win-win in all circumstances. On a personal note, I would like to thank you Sarah for always turning up at court on time, always presenting yourself well and being organised”
