Agreement extending the period for filing a defence
15.5
(1) The defendant and the claimant may agree that the period for filing a defence specified in rule 15.4 shall be extended by up to 28 days.
(2) Where the defendant and the claimant agree to extend the period for filing a defence, the defendant must notify the court in writing.
Well you've done all that the rules require of you. The opponent knows you've agreed the extension. If they break that agreement they'll be in trouble as you'd report them to SRA and you'd make an application to the court which they'd suffer the expense of.
Having said that, it's not going to happen.
