    Well ring your solicitor that has been dealing with this for you:)

    they say several weeks, which seems like a long time if it is already paid into court

    It depends where it has been paid in - if it has been paid to Court Funds Office it can take up to 28 days to appear in your bank account. If the payment has been made directly into the court where the case was held it will be around 14 days to pay out.

    If you had a solicitor acting for you they may receive the money to send onto you unless it was specifically ordered to pay direct to you and if a minor was involved it will be held until they are 18. x x

    If the court has ordered the other side to pay you £x amount of money it is normally within 14 days.
