Filing Circuit court case under MUD act

Faolchu

Guys

anyone know if i have to have a solicitor to file in the circuit court under the Multi Unit Development Bill?? is there a requirement or is it just best to use one to ensure all your ducks are in a row?

if i can file without a solicitor is there a particular form that is required?

You actually should seek advice on this particular issue. The charter does not allow for the giving and seeking of advice here - FYI.

i wouldn't have though asking if i need a solicitor to file under a certain bill is seeking legal advice, i would have though "X has happened do i have a case". in my particular instance I'm pretty sure i do have a case, I'm just trying to limit my costs as lawyers fees can be huge. if i've overstepped the bounds of the charter then fair enough lock the thread up

A Bill is not an Act ... is the MUD an Act yet?

You haven't yet. Though there is a fundamental flaw in your reasoning.

You might check whether there is a rule of Court under the Circuit Court Rules on www.courts.ie

not sure what you mean buy the bill is not an act, im not a lawyer just someone that's is of the opinion that i have a case against a management company that has so far refused to communicate over issues i have raised with them, and also ignored their obligations under the terms of MUD.

MUDit is on courts.ie as circuit court rule order 46B and I'm fairly certain it came into law on April 1st 2011 of all days. some of it coming into effect later than that date (6 months after AFAIK).

not sure what you mean by there's a flaw in my reasoning. I assume that you're saying that by asking if i can go it alone i am in fact asking for legal advice. if that's the case them just say that and close the discussion. all i was asking for was clarification on something and maybe someone to save me a few hours searching for documentation if they already had the knowledge i seek etc.

Many sections came in to law in 2011.

Bills are what Acts are before they are Acts. They aren;t law as Bills. Think eggs and chickens.

The above is what I meant by flaw in reasoning.

In any event, I am still of the view that you should seek legal advice from someone from whom you can have some form of recourse and face to face advice on specifics.

I could have - yes.
