Hello,
I was wondering if someone can help explain what this general directions letter means. I was sent a reply from the courts regarding a consent order I had sent off signed by both parties and a N244 form to set aside a CCJ I discovered.
the consent order was as follows:
upon the defendant informing the claimant of their exceptional mitigating personal circumstances and upon the defendant informing the claimant that they did not receive the court claim form and were therefore unaware of the proceedings and unable to respond:
by consent it is ordered that:
The judgement entered against the defendant on ***** is hereby set aside.
the claim stands dismissed
there shall we no order as to costs.
__________________________
both parties signed the above and I sent it off to the courts along with the £100 fee.
I have had a reply in the form of a general directions order by a district judge and I’m not sure what it means and what I have to do next. Please can you explain if the reply means that the CCJ has been set aside, I’m just not sure if it is asking for me to reply within 7 days with a defense or if it’s saying I can reply if I have any objections to it being set aside, which I of course don’t. I had requested on the N244 for it to go ahead without a hearing and the legal jargon is confusing me.
the letter states:
before deputy district judge ****** Sitting at the county court business centre
upon reading the minute of order filed herein, a copy of which is annexed here to
without hearing
and by consent
it is order that
an order is hereby granted in the terms of the said annexed minute and that it do stand as the order of this court
note:
this order has been made without a hearing under the court case management powers contained in the civil procedure rules part 3. You may within 7 days of the service of this order apply to the court to set aside or to vary the order under part 23 rule 10. You must file with the court and serve on other parties an application that sets out your reasons for objection. A fee is payable upon the filing of the application. When your objection is received the matter will be listed for a hearing unless you ask the court to vary the order without a hearing.

please kindly help explain to me what it means and what I need to do next, I would be so grateful.
many thanks
