Getting money back from claimant after Judgement was set aside

[Happyguy]

I was successful in making an application to set a Judgement aside. The time line is this: High Court Enforcement Officer arrives at my home *out of the blue from a case I was unaware of and demanding payment, payment is made, two weeks later the Judgement is set aside.
Am I right in thinking that I can now chase the claimant for the return of my money? Any advice on this would be gratefully received.

The High Court enforcement officers may well have the funds still, have you spoken to them now the judgment is gone? That may be the first port of call

Thank you for replying to my post. I have checked with them and they have passed the payment to the claimant.*

Write to the claimant, seeking repayment, if not issue a claim yourself for non-return. You should have really got the court to make an order to return the payment.
