The College are also seeking to recover a laptop that was lent to Jacqui during her studies and intend to include a claim for the delivery of the laptop when they issue proceedings. A letter before claim was sent to Jacqui two months ago but she has failed to respond to it. What is the correct advice to give Brereton College about where to issue the claim form? The claim must be issued in the County Court closest to Jacqui’s home address. The claim must be issued in the County Court closest to Brereton College’s registered business address. The claim can be issued at any County Court hearing centre unless an enactment, rule or practice direction requires it to be issued elsewhere. The claim can only be issued in the County Court Business and Property Court.
