Defended claim

[Ten4]

i have just returned my defence for a large claim in regards an inheritance that the claimant believes he has a share of. I believe I have a very good defence and have sent back all my evidence (supporting documents).

i am surprised this could go through CCMCC, but have responded as best I could.

the documents include quite a lot of incriminating evidence against the claimant, including blackmail and threats, as well as a reasoned defence to say why I don't owe the money (in excess of £25,000).

i would be very grateful if anyone would be able to explain what happens now?

many thanks

A lot depends upon how well the claim and defence have been drafted. In essence there may be a claim management hearing(s) at which the court sorts out whatever might be needed before it goes to trial.

Thank you. At what point would the claimant have to start making choices about continuing?

Now, and at every step from now on.

Similarly, you should keep the strength of your position under constant review.

Does this claimant have legal representation?
