Using the CSO for small claims court

Thirdfox

Hi all,

Just a quick question - for a small claims court online application is it the case that once you have filled in claimant, respondent and claim details you're done until the case is reviewed and payment is requested for initiation of the case?

I.e. the ball is now in the court's court :pac: and one needs to wait for a communication from the court stating that payment should be made to initiate the case.

Best,
Third

Answering my own question for anyone who may be interested - it was not sufficient to fill in "representative" details in the claimant field to submit the case - the full details of the actual claimant is needed (presumably because usually a claimant wouldn't have legal representation representing them).

Once a claimant is filled in the submit case option will be available and after that I presume the SCC reviews the case for initiation.

For the sake of clarity, when SCC is used in an Irish legal context, it means the Special Criminal Court, not the Small Claims Court.

You also mention the CSO, which properly refers to the Central Statistics Office. I presume that you really mean something else but I don't know what that should be.

I don't think any legal practitioner would mistake the Special Criminal Court for the Small Claims Court for reviewing of small claims cases. But I give you that it's not the usual reference when talking about the "SCC".

The CSO on the other hand is a different matter:

It stands for "Courts Service Online" - so no, I don't mean something else (nor do I mean the Central Statistics Office).

To add to what Pat is saying, I'll also point out that there is no such thing as the Small Claims Court, no such court exists, it's a procedure, not a court function and is known as the Small Claims Procedure. A common mistake not helped by the fact that Citizens Information still refer to it as a court.

Regarding the Courts Servive Online, it is known as the CSOL (or CSIO for the main Courts Service Ireland website), not the CSO.

I thought he meant the CSO too but didn't want to stick my head above the pulpit for once. I've also been trying to get people to use the acronym SmCP, with about as much success as Rimmer's salute.

That will lead me on to why you NEVER say repeat* in radio comms. Wrecks my head every time I hear it in films!

*means Fire!

Or more specifically it means "request for the same volume of fire to be fired again with or without corrections or changes".

Just like when you hear "over and out".

And now everyone is saying WTF are those two talking about.
