D) So far as you know at this stage, how many witnesses (other than yourself) do you intend to call to give evidence at the hearing? (I assume the answer is 0)
Correct, then answer is none.

Experts
E) Do you want permission to use an experts report at the hearing? Yes or No (I assume Yes??)
Correct, the answer is yes.
trfletch wrote:
If Yes, what will the expert's evidence deal with? (not sure what I write in this box)
The engineers report details the testing of my laptop and concludes that it is inherently defective and was so at the time of sale.
trfletch wrote:
Have you already obtained an expert's report? Yes or No (I assume Yes??)
Correct, the answer is yes
trfletch wrote:
If Yes, have you given a copy of that report to the other party? Yes or No (again I assume Yes if they are talking about the engineers report)
Correct, they are talking about the engineers report and so the answer is yes.
trfletch wrote:
In addition to using an experts report do you want your expert to attend the hearing and give evidence? Yes or No (I assume No??)
Correct, the answer is no
trfletch wrote:
If Yes, give reasons why you think their attendance is necessary (I guess this will be left blank if my previous answer is No)
This is not applicable to you.

The court may order the appointment of a single expert who can be instructed by both parties. If you think this would not be appropriate, please say why (I assume I leave this blank)
Correct, please leave blank.

Other Information
G) In the space below, set out any other information you consider will help the judge to manage or clarify the claim, including any other information you consider should be supplied by the other party (Not sure what I need to put in this box if anything, any help would be appreciated?)
I would put something like the following:-

I purchased my laptop on <enter date purchased> from <enter retailers name>. On <enter date failed> my laptop failed due to an inherently defective Nvidia GPU. I researched the problem and found that his issue is affecting thousands of laptops worldwide and is a known fault.
I have obtained an engineers report, of which <enter retailers name> has a copy, which confirms the defect in my laptop.
I sent a letter to <enter retailer name> requesting a refund/replacement and that they comply with the Sales of Goods Act but to date have not had a favourable response.
Having exhausted all other means possible I am now forced into this action. I am claiming the cost of the laptop, engineers report and other costs totaling £<enter costs>
I also claim interest under Section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from <enter date failed> to <enter date claim filed> of £<enter interest> and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £ <enter daily rate>

Fee
H) Have you attached the fee for filing this allocation questionnaire? An allocation fee is payable if your claim or counterclaim exceeds £1500. Additional fees will be payable at further stages of the court process. Yes or No (not sure what to for this but my claim does not exceed £1500 so I assume No?)
Correct, as it is below £1500 the answer is no.
I hope the above helps. If you have any questions or if you need any advice then please let me know.
Good luck and best wishes
