UK Landlord Forum / Life

Hi All

New to the forum - hope someone can help.  I've had an issue with an N5B which was incorrectly crossed out in all of section 3 - rather than just one part.  The court letter states I have permission to amend and reservice.

I don't know what this means legally - do I need to complete a new N5B and date it accordingly - with a new court fee or can I amend the one I had submitted with an error and do I just replace the page with a corrected version? 
Do I need to send to the court another 3 copies of the N5B?

APPRECIATE ANY HELP OFFERED - The court won't give any guidance about the meaning of the above and I really can't afford to lose more time....

Thanks
Premier

Sorry no idea what you are on about.

Keep your fingers crossed or pay someone to find out?

Please be careful of advice received from websites (including my own) and always do your own research.
Obviously I cannot understand your full situation from a small blog....

Premier your post doesnt make sense..."permission to amend and reservice"
Either you amend or you reserve you cant usually do both

It sounds like you crossed out too much of the section 3 in the N5B?
Basically you are now in a wierd territory...but are massively lucky the judge has given you permission to amend (not sure about reservice).
There is no prescribed way forward now....

Options are:
1. Provide a copy of the form you submitted and swap out page 2 (this would be an amendment)
2. Provide a copy of the form you submitted and swap out page 2 but countersign and redate the form (this would be an amendment)
3. Provide a new form (this would not be an amendment)
4. provide all of the above (but risk pissing off the judge)

You can now flip a coin as to which is the best route...
I would submit options 1 and 2 (I guess that should be option 5)
But better still next time dont get the form wrong in the first place!!!

Am not sure though in this case an amendment or a reserve of the N5B is any different in terms of time spent in the process...at least you got the section 21 right(?) which would have cost you more time.

Best of luck
