Small Claims Tomlin Order

[sprogg]

4 months ago reached verbal agreement with lawyers representing a 3rd party for outstanding payment of debt. As part of the process our lawyers produced a Tomlin Order which we signed, was then forwarded to the other sides lawyers.

Since then, nothing. All communications are being ignored, despite still being active.

How can we enforce?

If the order has not been signed by the other party, you need to pursue your claim.

Thank you for the reply. How can we pursue?

Does it make a difference the Tomlin Order was not signed?

[atticus]

To pursue, you take the next steps in the court process.

An unsigned Tomlin Order is not a Tomlin Order you can ask the court to make. There is no signature to confirm that its terms are agreed.

So I need the court to confirm its binding and to enforce?

Surely, there will be intent on both sides to agree otherwise it would never have been drawn up.

This is incorrect. Please read my earlier posts.

What are the next steps in the court process?

You have not said where you are now in the process, making it impossible to say what is to be done next. You say that you have engaged lawyers: I suggest that you ask them.
