It would be interesting to see the 8 page Particulars of Claim you mentioned earlier.

My apologies mariefab. I will upload the particulars (redacted) in a second or two.

Go and see a Solicitor it looks from here as if they are showing no mercy and will if they can screw you

Re: And suddenly there was a defence...

The other side will have received notice of this also. Your best bet is to contact the other side, say you have received notice of this interlocutory hearing, they have indicated that they sought to set aside the order and this has appeared. Ask them to confirm whether they have made any application and if so what sort, as they have appeared to have made this without notice and you would like to point out to the court there were no good reasons for making a without notice application.

Do I not need circa 2 weeks to respond to any application the other side makes in any event? The other side's solicitors only went on the record around the 16th February.

It's basically an interim remedy...i wonder why. This seems unfair

Indeed. I think Rob just requested the last page?

Re: And suddenly there was a defence...

A solicitor mentioned to me that District Judges generally have poor levels of experience with equality law and that they could, inappropriately, assign the case to the fast track. Very worrying...

Re: And suddenly there was a defence...

interlocutory hearings are interim hearings which an order or judgment etc. is given pending the final outcome of the case. For example interlocutory injunctions which are now known as interim injunctions.

So unless you have instigated something, it must have been the other side.

Strange. I have just confirmed with the court and there are no documents (they say) other than the listing of the case.

I did ask for an injunction when issuing the claim so I am not sure if that has anything to do with it?

It seems all the other side has done is notify the court that they now have representation and asked the court to consult with them before listing the case or making further arrangements. Could that have something to do with it?

Re: And suddenly there was a defence...

Update

The case has been listed for a interlocutory hearing towards the end of March.
.
It seems the court has taken little notice of the other side's recent e-mail stating:

"We would be grateful if the court could liaise with us before listing/making further arrangements in order that we can take instructions in good time."

I guess this makes things slightly more difficult in respect to any application to set aside the judgement?

Still no sign of any defence or application to set aside the judgement.

Re: And suddenly there was a defence...

Have they sent you a copy of any application to the court? If summary judgment was given and now an interlocutory hearing they must have made some kind of application. If not worth finding out and point out to them that you never received any application notice.

I thought the interlocutory hearing was to ascertain the amount of compensation?
