    The defendant I believe.

    My recollection is that when you get served with a county court summons, there's a section of the form (that you need to return to the court) where you fill in where you want the case heard if it is your intention to enter a defence.

    If you defend a MCOL, then the case is transferred to the defendant's local court.

    The claimant can then request any hearing to be held at their local court, and the court will decide.
