MCOL Question

[bigboyprice69]

I have a quick question before I file my MCOL tomorrow, we go on holiday from 20th-28th, if we file in the 16th is there anything we're likely to need to respond to that would not wait until we return on the 28th, or would it be better to wait until we get back to file?

 

Thanks in advance.

If you file on the 16th, it won't be deemed served until 21st, 14 days to acknowledge Nov 4th and till Nov 18th to defend

D&g legal lot may as you to fax a copy of your charges to them. Could you not get a frienf to do this for you ?? Saying that you may be ok

I thought it was 28 days from when they acknowledge service thats certainly what seems to say say on my letter from the court

[Michael Browne]

No it's 28 days from the deemed date of service

[plonker]

No it's 28 days from the deemed date of service

 

Which is 5 days after it been issued is that correct ???

 

So if my mcol was served on 12/10 they have until 31/10 to acknowledge it. And one way or another it should be sorted by 14 /11 if you include the 5 days for it to be considered issued by the courts??

 

Thought I had all the time scales worked out

 

Hope you can clear this up for me. You have helped me quite abit recently Michael Browne cheers

If it was issued on the 12th, then yes they have till the 31st.

If it was served on the 12th then they have till the 26th

HTH

If it was issued on the 12th, then yes they have till the 31st.

If it was served on the 12th then they have till the 26th

HTH

 

And then 14 days from the 31st (14 novmeber to pay up) then even if they acknowledge before the deadline making it a maxium of 33days (including 5 day peroid) for them to sort it out.

 

To hopefully finally conclude if they do acknowledge they have until the 14 at the latest to pay up

 

Hopefully cleared up if you agree michael thanks again you've been a great help.

 

And finally very sorry to hijack your thread bigboyprice69 hopefully some of the above has helped yo answer your original question anyway

 

Thanks again all

Issued on the 12th

Deemed served on the 17th

Acknowledge by the 31st

File defence by the 14th (this does not mean they have to pay up)

Yeah bad choice of words on my behalf I suppose. But they should be a development one way or another.

 

But if they haven't made a offer by then or entered any defence I can file for judgement correct?

 

Thanks again either way you have answered my question about the time scales anyway

So have I got this right, If I issue today it won't deemed served until 21st, which is a Sunday, so call it the 22nd, they won't ask for anything before this. We get back AM on 28th so it should be OK to let them wait 4 days until then for us to fax over summary.

No you will be fine issue today.

[stephie]

It will normally take them this long at least to acknowledge it, so that'll be fine!

Thanks for all your replies, I will issue to day and enjoy my holiday!!
