General sanction order

[Tb03]

I started a court claim against an individual. They filed a defence and then the DQ’s were sent out to the pair of us. Following the timeline I sent my DQ back into court. Since then a general sanction order was put in place against the defendant, but this was nearly three weeks ago and I still haven’t been able to do anything online. Why is this? and how long does the process of a general sanction order being put in place take?

[atticus]

What are the exact words of the order, please.

[Tb03]

General sanctions order was made on 26/05. Which I then had a letter following this, informing me that it was made against the defendant.

You still haven't answered Atticus' question.

A sanctions order will not simply state "General sanctions order was made on 26/05" and that's it. Every order made by the court will explain what the court has ordered, which in this case will be some kind of sanctions and you will have been sent a copy of that order in the post.

If you want any help you need answer our questions - produce the wording verbatim, don't paraphrase or exclude any of the wording because you don't think it's relevant as we will need to see the full order (minus your personal data).

Before a court officer sitting at the County Business Centre.

The defendant, you have been sent notice of proposed allocation to which specified the date by which you were required to return the Directions Questionnaire. You have failed to file the Directions Questionnaire with the CCBC by the date specified in the notice.
IT IS ORDERED THAT
The defendant must file the Directions Questionnaire with the CBBC on or before the 7 days from service of this order with County Court Business centre via post at St Katherine’s House 21-27, via document exchange or via email. If the defendant does not comply with this notice your defence/counterclaim will automatically be struck out without further order of the court and, subject to the claimant having complied with this order, the claimant will be at liberty to enter judgement.

[R0b]

If the defendant does not comply with this notice your defence/counterclaim will automatically be struck out without further order of the court and, subject to the claimant having complied with this order, the claimant will be at liberty to enter judgement.

There lies your answer. Call the court to confirm if a DQ was filed and if so what date it was filed. If nothing filed within 7 days of the date of that order, it is struck out and no further action from the court, you just simply need to request judgment.
