Do you mean the 28 day limit for the Claimant to respond?

This was just what the court told me and just took it as read, but having no previous experience of this I'll take it thats not the case?

My primary concern was that I had missed something and things were happening without my knowledge, so I am happy thats not the case.

there are always delays.

northants bulk handle some +750'000 court claims every year.

Quick update.

 

So as was said, it being stayed after 28 days is clearly not a thing as I have now received the Notice of Proposed Allocation paperwork. I must complete the Small Claims Directions Questionnaire (Form N180) by March 31st, so that's an activity for this weekend!

Afternoon.

 

Quick update. The N180 has been completed and sent - copy to the court and copy to the claimant (their legal rep).

 

Is it just a case of sit tight and wait now, should I be looking at my witness statement just yet?

 

Thanks as always! 

[dx100uk]

if they reply to their N180 yes.

watch mcol.

whats the status of their N180 listed there?

 

but notice of allocation comes 1st 

 

you MUST GET READING UP...

[mhf]

I have checked mcol. It says DQ filed by claimant. They filed theirs the same day it was sent to me.

[dx100uk]

ok so from your reading yp here

what's next?

Hi. Apologies it has been a long while since my last update.

In the meantime I had a phone call from UKPC's Legal Representatives requesting a conversation without prejudice, asking if I would be willing to settle the case for the original value of the PCN, which I declined.

All the while the process was rumbling on, I had requested which court I would like the case to be heard and so on.

Then had an email offering to settle out of court, which represented a small discount over what they were asking for.

I have now received a Notice of Discontinuance and have also received an order from the court stating that the trial is vacated.

This all feels like great news to me?

[dx100uk]

yep you won.

next time and for future readers NEVER EVER talk on the phone

and if you get emails

immediately reply stating

email not read

please stop using any email for anything to do with our mutual court claim.

[lookinforinfo]

That is great news. Well done for standing up to them.

[mhf]

It's certainly a weight off my mind!

Thank you all for all the great advice and for taking the time to answer questions etc.

[Nicky Boy]

Really good news!

You stared them down and they blinked.

Well done.
