N244 Strike Out

[PalmerJ]

Hi all,

New to here and would appreciate some clairfication on N244 submission.

Question: If a defendant has made an application to strike out does the claimant need to Acknowledge or file a Defence like you would normally do when responding to a claim form?

You canrespond to the application, and answer the statement made in connection with the application.

Civil Procedure Rules, Practice Direction 23A, paragraph 9.4:


9.4 Where a respondent to an application wishes to rely on evidence which has not yet been served he should serve it as soon as possible and in any event in accordance with any directions the court may have given.

For this purpose, "evidence" includes a written statement, exhibiting any relevant documents.
