No default, No pre action letter, now a County Court Claim Form

[JK2054]

But the Claimant can apply to the judge to lift the stay? I am right?

Sure but he/she will have to pay for that and explain why they took so long.

You file your defence, the other party normally replies to it, the Court sends a Directions Questionnaire to both parties, you might have the opportunity of Mediation, if it's not settled, then Witness Statement then Hearing, Judgement etc. All this is a long way off.

Update when you get responses.

This is an update from the Court Website MCOL

Case stay lifted ..11/24
Case stayed ..11/24

Same dates case stay lifted and case stayed

O.K. so they have lifted the 'stay'.

You should receive a Directions Questionnaire from the Court.

You need to fill this in and send a copy to the Court and send a copy to the Claimants solicitors, make sure you get Proof of Postage.

You want Mediation, but you haven't received all the documentation requested.

(You will receive a copy of the Claimants DQ in the post, they may send you a blank one to fill in, but wait for the Court to send you one)

If you don't receive it in within the next 2 weeks, ring the Court.

It can also be found online, so you can download it and fill in and send off.
