Hi guys, I requested a transcript of the case and they’ve sent me a form EX107. I’ve started filling it in but there’s a section asking about payment and invoicing details ??‍♀️

I may be wrong, but isn't that because they charge you for an actual transcript?

@markn88 you could say that you can't afford to pay

Ah right, that's good to know then, I wasn't sure so thought it would be best to just post the relevant link.

Saying that though Lisa doesn't necessarily mean they will agree to send one without it.

I'd say the fact they are even asking for a payment suggests you wont get one without paying the requested fee

JS69

I rang the courts to ask and the lady said you don’t need to pay for a statement of reason, so she suggested I fill it in and return it without filling in that part

In that case it seems you have the wrong form, the EX107 form is for a transcript of the hearing, as I linked above, a statement of reasons is a totally different thing.

Thats good news then @JS69. Glad you've got it sorted. I wonder if the courts do take a fee if you fill that section in without querying it?

BrettW

I'm sure I read on another post recently that the Statement of Reason is written by the judge in their spare time so you might have to wait a while to receive it if I am remembering correctly

This is the form they sent me after emailing them asking for a statement of reason ??‍♀️

@BrettW on the link that is posted  it says if you cant afford it to give your reasons but it seans the person has the wrong form

I would maybe query with them as it doesn’t seem right.

Sounds like whoever has processed your request has misunderstood what you were requesting from the court and has sent you a form to request a transcript of what was said rather than the statement of reasons. I'd do what Mark has suggested above and get back in touch with them rather than going through the process of sending in your application and waiting however long just to receive something that you didn't ask for in the first place.

JS69

Ok I will, I checked my sent emails and I definitely asked for a statement  of reasons
