You'd bring it up with the Judge, via defence, statement or application, who have the option to apply sanctions.

Is this a claimants solicitor against you ?

They are defendants and want to avoid giving proper disclosure as they know the info will hurt them!

Ok, is the case fast track / multitrack / small claims?

Have any orders for disclosure been made?

No Orders yet. Likely to go to Chancery it Interpret an agreement between parties - they have ignored a notice under 31.14.

You could make an application for compliance with the 31.14 request. Were the documents asked for mentioned in a statement of case?
