Issues with court directions

[David Rid]

Hi,

Can anyone advise how courts orders/directions work?

I have received some directions associated with a court order which I have challenged because they appear to be wrong.

I haven't heard from the court concerning the issues I identified and now dates for activity that was against me has passed, but I didn't carry out the directions requested because they are wrong in my opinion.

Should I have followed the initial directions, despite these being wrong, on the basis the court may not change its mind, or as I have contested the courts instructions am I within my rights to not carry out existing directions?

I am concerned now that, as I haven't had a reply from the court, I will have failed to respond in the times set in the initial order, but do know the courts are well behind dealing with correspondence, in which case they may well still not have processed my challenge. I am really confused as to how a situation like this will be managed as the initially directions are clearly very wrong, but all dates in the order including actions against the defendant are now in the passed, so this would render the complete order redundant.

Any help much appreciated.

Your needed to apply to have the Order varied. Simply complete an "Applicotation Notice" form (N244) , whicha re available online and send to the Court. There will be a fee but they will ask for that once they accept you can apply...not sure what the situation is with respect of being out of time as this is always at the Courts's discretion
