further

hints

and

tips

for

users

of

the

Centre

Regular

readers

of

the

Practical

Law

Dispute

Resolution

blog

may

recall

my

previous

posts

about

the

County

Court

Money

Claims

Centre

CCMCC

in

Salford

The

CCMCC

processes

hundreds

of

thousands

of

Part

money

claims

plus

related

applications

each

year

In

addition

over

the

past

months

it

has

processed

tens

of

thousands

of

charging

order

and

attachment

of

earnings

applications

following

the

centralisation

of

these

enforcement

methods

in

I

was

fortunate

to

have

the

chance

to

return

to

the

CCMCC

this

summer

to

learn

more

about

practice

and

procedure

at

Salford

especially

in

relation

to

charging

orders

attachment

of

earnings

and

Help

with

Fees

Following

on

from

last

years

Sailing

through

the

CCMCC

this

blog

contains

a

further

and

updated

collection

of

practical

hints

and

tips

for

those

who

use

the

CCMCC

on

a

regular

or

occasional

basis

Charging

order

applications

ten

tips

Dont

forget

whose

application

you

are

completing

When

completing

section

of

Form

which

asks

What

is

your

full

name

remember

that

this

question

is

directed

at

the

judgment

creditor

Sometimes

practitioners

or

applicants

employees

mistakenly

enter

their

own

name

and

where

this

happens

the

CCMCC

has

to

return

the

application

Use

section

in

Form

to

explain

any

discrepancies

in

your

application

For

example

sometimes

the

judgment

debtors

name

is

slightly

different

on

the

Land

Registry

documents

submitted

with

the

application

they

may

have

a

middle

name

that

was

unknown

to

the

judgment

creditor

when

the

claim

was

issued

or

some

documents

may

be

in

their

married

name

It

is

best

to

address

this

type

of

discrepancy

in

section

of

Form

Further

Information

If

you

dont

give

an

explanation

you

risk

the

application

being

returned

If

you

are

a

bulk

customer

dont

forget

to

enclose

a

schedule

identifying

each

of

the

cases

included

in

a

single

batch

of

applications

This

helps

the

CCMCC

to

track

charging

order

work

processed

for

bulk

users

The

CCMCC

will

keep

a

copy

of

the

schedule

in

a

central

reference

point

and

use

it

to

assist

with

any

queries

on

the

location

of

a

particular

case

or

file

Avoid

the

temptation

to

file

duplicate

applications

and

correspondence

Submitting

a

charging

order

application

to

the

CCMCC

by

multiple

methods

can

lead

to

work

being

duplicated

and

also

increases

turnaround

times

The

CCMCC

therefore

asks

users

to

adopt

just

one

method

of

transmission

for

instance

email

or

post

not

both

The

benefits

of

filing

by

email

include

speed

reduced

cost

and

the

fact

that

you

will

receive

an

automated

response

confirming

receipt

If

you

wish

to

file

an

individual

charging

order

application

or

related

items

by

email

stick

to

the

dedicated

email

address

Emailing

individual

applications

related

correspondence

and

documents

directly

to

CCMCCchargingordershmctsgsigovuk

helps

the

CCMCC

to

process

them

more

efficiently

Remember

to

comply

with

Practice

Direction

and

avoid

copying

your

email

to

other

CCMCC

email

addresses

such

as

those

for

general

efiling

or

customer

enquiries

as

this

will

generate

multiple

replies

for

you

and

slow

down

response

times

Note

that

bulk

batches

of

charging

order

applications

must

be

filed

by

post

When

filing

by

email

use

the

correct

subject

heading

so

that

your

email

is

efficiently

filtered

When

you

use

the

dedicated

email

address

to

file

a

charging

order

application

or

related

items

make

sure

that

you

complete

the

subject

field

with

the

case

number

plus

one

of

the

eight

headings

set

out

below

This

will

assist

the

CCMCC

to

allocate

your

email

to

the

appropriate

inbox

without

delay

The

headings

to

be

used

in

the

subject

field

are

New

issue

General

query

Administrative

error

Complaint

Objection

to

Order

Certificate

of

Service

Applications

Schedules

of

Costs

Remember

that

applications

will

only

be

issued

once

the

fee

is

received

I

understand

from

the

CCMCC

that

in

some

cases

users

submit

a

charging

order

application

by

email

and

then

file

a

further

hard

copy

by

post

enclosing

a

cheque

for

the

fee

The

CCMCC

will

only

issue

an

application

on

receipt

of

the

fee

so

there

is

no

point

chasing

for

news

of

your

application

based

on

the

date

of

the

email

Since

filing

duplicate

applications

is

discouraged

as

mentioned

above

If

you

wish

to

email

applications

to

the

CCMCC

to

accelerate

receipt

and

processing

it

is

most

efficient

to

complete

and

file

a

Help

With

Fees

application

see

further

below

or

use

Fee

Account

While

it

is

possible

to

ask

to

be

contacted

to

arrange

payment

by

debit

or

credit

card

this

can

involve

multiple

phone

calls

and

therefore

may

not

be

so

efficient

If

you

are

applying

for

Help

With

Fees

and

wish

to

email

your

charging

order

application

to

the

CCMCC

you

have

two

choices

Firstly

you

can

apply

for

Help

with

Fees

online

in

advance

of

filing

the

charging

order

application

then

add

the

Help

With

Fees

reference

to

the

charging

order

application

before

filing

it

by

email

Alternatively

you

can

file

a

scanned

hard

copy

of

the

Help

With

Fees

application

by

email

together

with

the

charging

order

application

If

you

choose

the

latter

option

send

both

applications

to

CCMCCchargingordershmctsgsigovuk

and

use

the

New

Issue

subject

heading

If

you

wish

to

pay

an

application

fee

by

cheque

submit

the

application

by

post

only

enclosing

the

cheque

made

payable

to

HMCTS

When

filing

schedules

of

costs

or

statements

of

the

amount

due

for

final

charging

orders

use

the

CCMCCs

pro

forma

schedules

Practitioners

own

schedules

sometimes

omit

relevant

information

which

can

either

delay

approval

of

the

final

charging

order

or

result

in

the

applicant

not

receiving

the

expected

amount

of

costs

and

disbursements

The

CCMCC

has

therefore

produced

two

pro

forma

schedules

one

for

individual

charging

order

applicants

and

one

for

bulk

users

These

contain

all

the

information

required

by

the

court

when

considering

whether

to

grant

a

final

charging

order

The

pro

forma

schedules

can

be

used

as

the

statement

of

amount

due

required

under

CPR

and

for

any

furtherfinal

statement

of

amount

due

where

payments

are

subsequently

made

in

respect

of

the

judgment

Be

aware

that

interim

charging

orders

are

only

referred

for

final

order

approval

after

the

timeframe

has

expired

The

interim

charging

order

currently

provides

Unless

the

judgment

debtor

or

any

other

person

files

and

serves

their

objection

to

the

continuation

of

the

charge

in

writing

within

days

of

the

date

of

service

of

the

order

the

application

will

be

considered

by

a

District

Judge

no

later

than

days

from

the

date

of

the

order

The

District

Judge

will

consider

without

a

hearing

whether

the

charge

created

by

this

order

should

be

made

final

with

or

without

modification

or

should

be

discharged

Despite

the

wording

of

the

order

the

actual

position

is

that

the

interim

charging

order

will

only

be

referred

for

final

approval

after

the

timeframe

comprising

a

period

for

service

of

the

interim

order

and

a

period

for

objectionsresponses

has

elapsed

If

you

need

to

chase

for

news

on

a

final

charging

order

dont

chase

too

early

I

understand

that

the

CCMCC

would

welcome

a

reduction

in

chasing

enquiries

asking

about

the

issue

of

final

charging

orders

as

the

time

spent

processing

these

is

a

distraction

from

progressing

substantive

applications

However

if

you

do

need

to

chase

the

CCMCC

suggests

that

you

check

first

that

you

have

taken

into

account

the

CCMCCs

current

targets

for

issuing

final

charging

orders

This

can

be

done

by

visiting

httpswwwgovukguidancehmctscivilbusinesscentresperformanceinformation

The

CCMCC

presently

receives

a

high

volume

of

chasing

enquiries

around

day

of

the

timeframe

referred

to

in

tip

above

Chasing

letters

are

often

premature

and

may

generate

unnecessary

additional

work

or

cause

confusion

as

they

frequently

cross

in

the

post

with

the

final

charging

order

and

can

lead

to

duplicate

orders

being

issued

Attachment

of

earnings

a

few

pointers

The

CCMCC

has

identified

some

issues

that

it

often

encounters

when

processing

requests

for

attachment

of

earnings

and

responses

to

such

requests

Avoid

making

extra

work

for

yourself

and

the

CCMCC

and

processing

delays

by

making

sure

that

you

dont

slip

up

on

these

points

When

requesting

an

attachment

of

earnings

order

make

sure

that

Form

includes

the

debtors

full

details

including

postcode

If

the

debtors

postcode

is

omitted

Form

has

to

be

returned

for

this

information

to

be

added

Where

the

outstanding

debt

is

greater

than

the

judgment

sum

use

section

to

explain

why

If

the

figure

entered

in

section

of

Form

for

the

balance

due

at

date

of

request

exceeds

the

original

judgment

amount

due

to

the

addition

of

further

court

fees

warrantexecution

fees

andor

interest

explain

the

difference

by

providing

a

breakdown

in

section

of

Form

you

can

use

a

separate

sheet

if

necessary

Where

interest

is

included

explain

whether

it

is

statutory

or

contractual

and

show

how

it

is

calculated

Providing

this

information

up

front

avoids

the

CCMCC

having

to

seek

an

explanation

which

can

delay

your

application

Remember

to

sign

Form

at

the

end

of

section

If

the

form

is

not

signed

it

will

be

returned

When

filing

by

use

the

dedicated

address

and

correct

the

and

that

may

have

If

so

by

the

receives

the

Help

with

fees

help

smooth

the

process

The

number

of

Help

With

Fees

applications

being

processed

by

the

CCMCC

has

increased

very

significantly

as

court

fees

have

risen

Following

these

tips

will

help

make

sure

that

your

Help

With

Fees

application

is

dealt

with

as

promptly

and

efficiently

as

possible

Apply

online

wherever

possible

via

httpswwwgovukgethelpwithcourtfees

You

can

apply

using

the

Help

With

Fees

online

system

or

complete

a

paper

application

on

Form

However

the

CCMCC

encourages

applicants

to

use

the

online

system

whenever

it

is

available

to

reduce

paperwork

All

new

money

claims

must

be

filed

via

post

and

either

a

be

accompanied

by

the

fee

payment

b

be

accompanied

by

Form

or

c

you

must

enter

the

unique

online

Help

Fees

reference

number

in

the

box

provided

form

All

other

of

process

can

be

filed

by

provided

you

comply

with

the

guidelines

for

email

submission

including

using

the

appropriate

inbox

If

an

application

submitted

by

email

is

supported

by

a

Help

With

Fees

application

Try

to

apply

prospectively

rather

than

retrospectively

It

is

helpful

if

practitioners

raise

the

issue

of

Help

With

Fees

with

clients

before

proceedings

are

issued

so

that

an

application

can

be

made

prospectively

rather

than

making

a

retrospective

application

which

if

successful

results

in

the

CCMCC

having

to

process

a

refund

of

the

court

fee

Before

the

Help

With

Fees

application

is

submitted

check

that

it

is

complete

and

that

your

client

has

read

it

in

full

and

make

them

aware

that

supporting

evidence

may

be

requested

dmMediaConverter

dmMediaConverter

is

a

crossplatform

FFmpeg

frontend

GUI

exposing

some

of

its

features

It

is

intended

to

be

simple

and

easy

to

use

but

also

to

be

able

to

achieve

complex

tasks

I

have

inspired

myself

from

a

lot

of

media

converters

like

Handbrake

WinFF

and

MkvMergeGui

One

was

lacking

all

the

codecs

available

the

app

Sit

wait

for

it

What

you

unckeck

copy

Then

make

desired

settings

and

from

Main

Menu

Profiles

Add

choose

a

profile

name

just

make

questions

about

Lets

start

with

an

real

example

Extract

audio

from

Youtube

videos

and

convert

them

to

to

Select

Bulk

and

drag

and

drop

your

files

From

Tab

and

then

press

choose

From

again

choose

and

select

Thats

it

Press

Add

Job

and

click

Start

Here

is

another

option

nth

which

means

to

extract

only

the

nth

audio

stream

form

the

file

It

is

useful

when

exporting

to

containers

that

accept

only

one

audio

stream

and

source

files

contains

multiple

tracks

Rip

and

Convert

DVD

BD

and

ISO

files

dmMediaConverter

does

not

support

ripping

DVD

blue

ray

disks

or

ISO

files

So

you

need

an

companion

app

and

i

have

found

the

perfect

match

for

it

MakeMkv

MakeMKV

is

the

best

ripping

software

i

sow

so

far

It

is

small

efficient

and

has

a

windows

mac

and

linux

client

It

does

not

do

any

compression

it

only

dectypts

the

dvd

stream

and

it

saves

it

into

a

mkv

container

A

very

fast

operation

So

firstuse

MakeMkv

by

opening

the

diskiso

file

then

choosing

the

desired

titles

and

the

output

folder

for

mkv

files

It

generates

an

file

per

title

The

mkv

contains

the

raw

and

dvdsub

streams

which

are

big

Then

with

dmMediaConverter

you

can

change

them

into

anything

you

like

So

simple

Hi

That

inner

you

see

is

an

issue

with

the

new

skin

for

site

Im

putting

in

a

request

to

have

it

reviewed

and

corrected

We

use

a

special

to

those

and

it

not

appear

to

work

properly

in

the

To

answer

your

question

sorry

for

the

delay

I

believe

the

answer

is

that

you

can

not

search

more

than

one

domain

at

a

time

but

I

am

getting

an

updated

answer

from

Controlling

Air

Potato

in

Florida

For

many

years

air

potato

has

been

manually

controlled

by

digging

the

tubers

Figure

and

collecting

and

destroying

the

bulbils

produced

in

the

leaf

axils

Figure

As

many

bulbils

as

possible

must

be

removed

from

infested

sites

Figure

Those

which

remain

will

produce

new

vines

All

plant

material

including

bulbils

must

be

disposed

of

in

such

a

way

that

they

do

not

spread

the

vines

to

new

areas

for

example

in

a

landfill

or

where

they

will

be

incinerated

Plants

become

dormant

in

winter

during

short

daylength

Locating

and

removing

bulbils

is

easier

during

winter

months

when

For

areas

where

the

air

potato

leaf

beetle

has

not

established

the

herbicide

glyphosate

can

be

used

for

air

potato

control

Glyphosate

is

effective

for

foliar

applications

but

does

not

kill

aerial

bulbils

that

have

already

been

produced

The

high

climbing

growth

also

makes

foliar

treatment

difficult

for

applicators

and

only

partial

control

is

achieved

Additionally

glyphosate

is

not

effective

in

completely

killing

the

underground

tubers

which

resprout

following

foliar

treatment

This

generally

results

in

the

need

for

multiple

treatments

The

optimal

treatment

timing

is

in

the

fall

when

downward

translocation

of

the

herbicide

to

the

roots

and

tubers
