Hello, really hope someone can point me in the right direction.
I am a claimant (litigant in person) and have had a small claim going on for what seems like eternity. After a dispute resolution hearing with a district judge, I was sent a General form of judgment or order requesting that I send further information to the court and the defendant within two months which I did. The defendant was given another month to obtain further evidence to substantiate their defence and send it to the court and myself, the calendar month ended last week and I have not received anything.
The order explained that failure to supply the information could result in the case being struck out or sanctions imposed.
I have telephoned the court and they have not received anything from the defendant but said they have a 3 - 4 week back log.
So, am I supposed to do anything? Or, will the court deal with it and notify me?
The hearing has been set for August so I am mindful of having to pay the fee in July. I’m finding it really difficult to deal with the time delay with the court at present as I’m terrified of missing a date or deadline.
Thank you for reading.
