Didn't receive paperwork from the court (small claims)

i said post up the email not the contents.

[CMan007]

I'm not sure what you mean?

[JK2054]

i mean a screenshot of the email so i can see if its automated or not and what steps you should take next

[CMan007]

Apologies, I've just come back from a brief trip. I'll try to get back to you tomorrow

[CMan007]

I've attached the email. I've censored out the court and my name and the persons name. I'm probably a bit paranoid.

I'm on my phone so not sure If it's legible on computer.

[JK2054]

wow im actually surpried by that. must be an ancient court. anyhow get the docs printed and posted

[CMan007]

Small update - I sent the court copies of the application and witness statement. After several weeks I got a phone call to collect payment and somewhat surprisingly (based on my previous conversation with the court staff) I was asked to pay £119 instead of £303.

Still waiting to hear back from the court (I paid almost a month ago).

[JK2054]

£119 is the correct fee. staff just aren't trained very well.

You will likely be waiting 1-3 months to hear back depending on how backlogged the court is, and how long it takes them to process orders, as well as how busy the judiciary at your lcoal court is.

I would like to go on holiday for a while (possibly a couple of months), I can ask someone to keep an eye on my post.

When I hear back from the court I assume it is going to be a letter containing the courts decision? Assuming my application gets granted will I be expected to pay the hearing fee by a certain date? I am just trying to work out the feasibility of going abroad and not having to rush back and being able to manage parts of my case from abroad.

[JK2054]

not sure what your asking sorry, you seem to be telling us you want to go on holiday, and i say go for it?

I wouldn't risk a holiday tbh. Sod's law: you get a letter giving you a short time window to pay a court fee or send something else.

If it only accepts payment over the counter or by postal order, not by any recognised 21st century method, you'll risk missing a deadline. More costs, more delays.

How important is that holiday?

[JK2054]

you can pay all court fees in relations to hearing by phone and creedit/debit card.
