MCOL - Defendent submitted incorrect DQ - N181 instead of N180

24th July 2020, 12:45:PM

Hi,

I've issued an MCOL on an organisation (relates to damage they caused to a vehicle). They have submitted a defence and the claim has been allocated to the Small Claims Track.

However, they have submitted/served the incorrect Directions Questionnaire using the form for the 'Fast Track and Multi Track', N181 instead of N180. The forms are significantly different, for example N181 does not have the option to use the Small Claims Mediation Service.

How will the court view this error? Can I get the Defence struck out?
