MCOL case General Sanctions Order

[Johnh346]

Hi, I have a case where my friend is the Claimant, he has received a General Form of Judgment or Order and on MCOL there states that a General Sanctions Order has been made. Please can anyone tell me what this means and what we should do next. I want to request a Default Judgement But the N225 form doesn't cover my scenario.. The Defendant is defending my claim but returned the DQ 2 weeks late, and has now not replied to General Form of Judgment order within the court specified timescale. This form states that we are "At liberty to enter judgment" Please can you advise how I do this? I tried calling the court but I waited so long my home phone ran out of charge.

The defendant may have a genuine reason why the DQ was filed late and you may find the GSO is removed on MCOL soon
Your friend should wait to see if the defence is struck out by the court but I doubt it will be for a DQ filed 2 weeks late

If you are now at liberty to enter judgement, use N255 request for judgement form: https://www.gov.uk/government/public...ecified-amount

Hi, thanks but the N255 form only gives me two options. Option A states.. "The defendant has not filed an admission or defence to my claim" In our case the defendant has filed a defence but not responded to the General Form of Judgment order. Can you advise if I should select Option A or not? I am currently looking at Form N244 as an option. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Adapt the form, using pen and ink, to refer to the order.
