  • N180 - Directions Questionnaire, wrong submission? Help!

    Ive recently submitted my N180 DQ to both the claimant (unrepresented) and the county court via email in PDF format. (CCJ took 2 weeks to send me the questionnaire, only really giving me 2 days as of today for proper delivery and filing out so decided to submit using the template online, they said this was fine, havent paid any court fees as outlined in original N1 yet.)

    Sent a SAR to request information soon after claim was served, said it would be dealt with but still havent heard anything from the claimant, no pre-action protocol, no further POC after 14 days, zilch really besides saying theyd be fine to receive emails for court docs, all mentioned in defence.

    Asked in D1 for the case to be conducted in home court pursuant to CPR 26.2A(3), along with saying Yes to mediation, didnt know whether or not I should bother as i barely had any thorough details issued to me, but did it regardless to appear reasonable.

    However, on further inspection of how I've submitted the form, i've just typed my name in the signature section (used an online pdf editor for it, didnt think it was a major issue), and now im wondering if I should attempt to resubmit? Is this a major pitfall i should be looking to rectify or something the court would overlook? its originated from the email address the court and claimant has in its possession so i dont know if its a big deal, but id rather not risk a further penalty order, led alone a judgement for a silly mistake. other party hasnt sent theirs yet, but i assume itll be arriving in the mail tomorrow.

    It also hasnt shown up on MCOL, but not sure if its supposed to or not, as i used the email address CCBC sent with how they accept correspondence (ccbcaq@justice.gov.uk)

    Any advice? or am i making a mountain out of a molehill?

    Hi RIHA

    Email the Court, explain that you used an online PDF editor to facilitate form filling, but unfortunately forgot to sign the DQ, ask them if there is any action they want you to take. It might be an idea to copy in the other party so they know whats going on. The DQ doesn't have a Statement of Truth, so not signing it isn't a 'biggie', but Courts work in mysterious ways.
