Particulars of Claim:
The defendant re-homed a pedigree cat, Bunty, from me on 04/04/13 for £200 as a pet. She agreed that Bunty would be spayed. Bunty was not spayed and produced a litter of 4 kittens sired by my stud cat on 13/05/13. The adults are registered in my name. The kittens born to Bunty belong to me as the breeder. The 'breeder' is the owner of the cat at the time of mating. Bunty is still in my ownerhsip until proof of neutering is provided. This is standard practice and the defendant agreed to this. The defendant had the option to return the kittens or to pay the stud fee (£300) and the price for Bunty as a breeding queen ( additional £600). Her letter dated 27/06/13 states she wishes to keep Bunty and all four kittens. The balance is still outstanding. The claimant claims interest under the section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from 27/06/2013 to 28/07/2013 on £900. and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at the daily rate of £0.20.
The Claimant believes that the facts stated in this claim form are true and I am duly authorised by the claimant to sign this statement. siged by Dee Marsland-Round ( breeder's own name)
现在我手中持有:
1. 买Bunty时的200镑的收据,收据上没有任何附加条件和agreement,譬如:关于Bunty被spayed等的事宜。
2. Bunty's pedigree Certificate ownship 在我女儿的名下。
3. 我们没有Bunty的 Registeration Form,因为在买Bunty时Breeder根本就没提还有个Registeration, 我是在出现纠纷后才知道还有registeration这回事,所以现在是Bunty确实还是在Breeder的名下。那么我可不可以这么认为,这个breeder 有欺诈行为呢,因为她是professional 卖猫的,在买卖交易过程中,她隐瞒了部分交易程序。
我必须要在28天之内写我的defence and Counterclaim, 想听听大家的意见.
我的Couterclaim,就是: 1.Bunty 生育小猫时被 ruined carpet with value of around £400.
2. 三多月来照顾猫咪们的时间,精力,食品,药品, litter等等。
3. 几个月来被Breeder骚扰的精神损失费包括信件,还有录下来的骚扰电话留言等。(说实话,本来想买个猫咪快乐一下的,没想到从此以后没有一天的 peaceful day. )
就是我要不要申请这个Counterclaim, 对案件会有positive的影响呢,还是会产生negative作用呢?
谢谢大家的帮助!
