"Claimant may give judgment" ?

[ncf355]

Hi folks,

 

one for the legal eagles (PT, TT, and any other LE's - Help!)

 

started a claim a while ago, acknowledged but not Defended

 

Entered Default judgment, received court notice that default could not be entered due to claim being more than money and I would have to make application on notice

 

So, wrote to Defendant explaining if I heard nothing I would make application in 21 days

 

Heard nothing, applied for judgment with copy of letter sent to Defendant

 

 

Court has now given an order -

 

 

"Claimant may give judgment"

 

 

Err........what the heck does this mean?

 

 

What do I do next?

I THINK it means you can now click the button to get default judgement.

 

However, there is a good procedure for this kind of thing... call up the court, ask for a court manager, and ask (a) if you can now enter default judgement and (b) how to do it;)

 

I admit, I'm rather lost, I've never had a claim large enough so I needed the permission of the court to get default judgement;)

 

Tom.
