Re: N24 General form of Judgment

Can you tell us a bit more about the claim. Is it against you or are you bringing the claim ? If against you, did you make a counterclaim ( or indicate in your defence you intended to ?)

It means, basically, that the claim will proceed as a defended claim however the counterclaim element will not proceed as it has been struck out.

Re: N24 General form of Judgment

Okay - it's in your favour then and no you don't need to do anything - did you receive a copy of the defence from the defendant or the court ? It appears they indicated they wished to counterclaim against you but failed to pay the fee... they have 7 days to argue about it or their counterclaim is struck out - the claim will continue as a standard defended claim otherwise. You should get a notification from the court to confirm you wish to proceed and a directions questionnaire.
