The first hearing was to see if we could come to an agreement/resolution. As I wouldn't agree to refund them, it had to go to the main court. They got dicked around by their solicitor and asked for more time, which was granted. I also applied to have the case moved to my local because the transaction took place here. My request was granted. As it was held at a new court, we had to have the resolution hearing again, which of course was a waste of time, then we went back for the main case, which I won. Plain and simple as that. 

Obviously, you have not been through the small claims court, so don't try and tell me whether it was handled right or wrong. There is always 2 hearings for these types of things. It was because it was moved that there were 4. I didn't take a solicitor to Sydney because it would have cost me more than my house, hence why I represented myself.
