Updating the court

[helpme25]

I am subject to a court order which stayed my case to allow for Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). The order requires that I inform the court of the outcome of the ADR process, including whether a settlement was reached. I would like to confirm whether it is necessary for me to file an N244 application in order to comply with this direction. Additionally, am I required to serve the defendant with my update to the court, given that the order specifically states that the Claimant is to inform the court of the outcome?

No, a letter quoting the claim number should suffice.

You should send copies of your correspondence with the court to all other parties.

Thanks for your response. I have already filed the N215 with the court for this case. However, I have another matter that has been referred to the local county court, and it is supposed to be assigned to a procedural judge for track allocation. There are now undisputed facts that make the case less complex. What are my options? Should I submit an N244 application, or should I wait for the case management directions or just send a letter informing the court?

Did you receive a signed (by both parties) a "Settlement Agreement from the mediator or adjudicator?
If you did this agreement is legally enforceable
IMO you need to obtain a court sealed Consent Order or Tomlin Order containing the terms of the agreement

Please read "A guide to civil mediation" at www.gov.uk
In particular "Is the agreement legally enforceable?"

What document or documents did you enclose with the N215 form?
