I am the defendant in a application for an attachment of earnings hearing and I have just noticed that the plaintiff has provided the wrong court number / case number in their affidavit.
The hearing is tomorrow, should I notify them first thing in the morning and will this impact the hearing going ahead?
Thanks

Its not the sort of mistake that will have any significant impact on Plaintiff's application I wouldn't have thought. My guess is that the application will proceed despite the error.

I concur with @James Mahoney above.
It sounds like a petty slip that would typically not be fatal to the validity of the document.
