You could phone the court for an update, or check on MCOL.

I received a letter from the court dated 16th January 2017

"I acknowledge receipt of your defence. A copy is being served on the claimant (or the claimants solicitor) The claimant may contact you direct to attempt to resolve any dispute. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, the claimant will inform the court that he wishes to proceed. The court will then inform you of what will happen.

Where he wishes to proceed, the claimant must contact the court within 28 days after receiving a copy of your defence. After that period has elapsed, the claim will be stayed. The only action the claimant can then take will be to apply to a judge for an order lifting the stay."

A letter arrived on 7th Feb from their solicitor acknowledging my defence and saying they were chasing up the paperwork with their client.

I have had nothing since then from anyone, including the court.

Is that it then, or do I have to wait longer, or maybe request anything else?

Hello Emma,

I suspect the court has stayed (suspended) the claim as the claimant has not replied to your defence ( you are not told when this happens the claimant will have to pay a fee to lift the stay.
As [MENTION=5553]charitynjw[/MENTION] says phone the court today.
