Average Waiting Time For Court Case?

I waited about five weeks, but the local court was very busy at the time and it gave me a chance to get my head together (and the cash)

Could have gone next day.But preferd following week so we could fit in round work.

I was originally given a date for 2 weeks but had to move it due to work so now it is 6 weeks. It is fine with me tho as it gives me a chance to get everything together.

Some courts will allow you to turn up on the day for your hearing without an appointment, as long as you get there by a specific time. The Royal Courts of Justice (The Strand, London) operate like this - as long as you're at the payments office by the time it opens (it opens at 10am) to pay your fees or submit your exemption paperwork, you'll be seen that day.

I've heard that some people have turned up there after lunch hoping to be seen that day - I would advise against that, as

• the court sees you in the morning but calls you back in the afternoon to finish the paperwork before sending you to the Insolvency Service office locally later that afternoon, so they need time to process your paperwork to enable you to be seen at both offices the same day, &
• the court gets a lot of people because of the 'same day' service. It therefore makes sense to turn up by about 9.40am at the latest, to get in the queue & get your documents in rather than trust to luck & end up having to make extra trips you could do without.
