Hi everyone.
I would be very grateful if somebody could advise me on the N279 form. I have had a claim in Small Claims Court for a year which I now wish to discontinue. I know that the N279 for is the correct document to use but I am confused by the way the form is laid out. I have completed all sections of the document and I'm ready to send it to all parties and the Court. However, there is a blank field where a Judge's name needs to be entered who has "granted permission for the claimant to discontinue..."

Does this mean I have to send this form ONLY to the court for the Judge to grant permission and then I later serve a copy of it to every other party complete with the Judge's name? Or do I send the form to the Court AND the defendant and leave the name of the Judge blank?
My confusion is caused by the phrase "I certify that I have served a copy of this notice on every other party to the proceedings".
Apologies if I'm missing something which is probably blatantly obvious to someone who know about these things.
Thanks to anyone who can help with this.
