Counter-Arguments & Rebuttals (2)

What the opponent will argue, and why they are wrong.

HMCTS · LOW Risk

They will argue

EX107 forms were defective or incomplete.

Rebuttal

6 applications to Rolls Building received COMPLETE SILENCE. Not 'rejected' but IGNORED. County Court returned 2 on specious grounds ('Mr Darius', 'two companies selected'). KB provided only judgment transcript (revised by judge). Pattern of obstruction, not administrative error. 8 applications across 3 courts, 0 full transcripts in 200+ days.

Rebuttal Confidence 9/10

HMCTS · LOW Risk

They will argue

Transcripts are the responsibility of the applicant to commission through approved transcription companies.

Rebuttal

EX107 IS the prescribed form for ordering transcripts through official channels. The applicant used the correct procedure 8 times. Rolls Building provided complete silence to 6 of them. The Guide to CoA proceedings para 2.22 provides for transcripts at public expense. The reasonable adjustment route (ETBB p.261) provides an alternative. Both routes were obstructed.

Rebuttal Confidence 9/10

Ground Dependencies

If This Ground Succeeds

AR-8
AR-15
Mandatory order for transcript provision. Time extension for appeals (cannot appeal without transcripts). HMCTS systemic failure finding.

If This Ground Fails

G-A13
JR-8
JR-16
Court finds delays were administrative. But 200+ days without response is objectively unreasonable. Article 6 (JR-16) still covers access to justice.

Fallback: Transcript obstruction feeds into cumulative unfairness (G-A13) and Article 6 denial (JR-16) regardless.

Independence: Partially dependent on other grounds succeeding.
