8 thoughts on “Request for electronic copy of Points of Dispute”
Someone – solicitor not costs draftsman – made me a R47.19 offer the other day.
Fair point but why do PPs not send an editable Microsoft Word document as a matter of course?
Because ironically there is no obligation to send electronic Points any longer, despite in practice most courts requiring a combined Points/Replies document.
John,
I keep receiving Part 47.19 offers, too. LOL.

I personally don’t mind sending a word version with the Points of Dispute.
I’m mad as a wasp however, when some opponents insist on us sending a word version of the Points of Dispute but then also say in the same correspondence we don’t accept service via email.
Fax machines have a habit of being engaged a lot of the time and the postal service…. lets not go there.
Email is the most reliable means of sending documentation which is not too heavy (points of dispute are never so large that email would not be appropriate).
I’m left thinking there must be some other reason why receiving parties don’t want to receive Points of Dispute via the easiest and most reliable mode of communication but I’m struggling to think what that might be…..

I always like those firms whom don’t accept service by email – especially when their letterhead doesn’t mention it but gives a valid email address
Generally – I’ve had one idiot firm make application to strike out my PODs before as I hadn’t provided anything but a hard copy; the DJ was livid his time was being wasted over such a triviality which had no basis at all in the rules
just recently had an opponent raise this live in a hearing, advising the DJ my conduct was poor because I had refused to comply with CPD 35.6 and provide an electronic copy, which is why his replies were two months late! Felt (only a little) embarrassed asking the DJ to forgive my opponent for not knowing the CPD had been repealed for over a year
