Claim - UK Parking Control & SCS Law

I couldn't find anything in the newbies thread on the 33 (not 28) day limit the claimant has to instruct the court what it wants to do with the claim after a defence has been filed.

As it stands they still aren't picking up the phone or responding to my email so I'm going to assume it's been stayed

That's because it's not a stage where you expect to hear anything yet, and it's such an unimportant issue it's not worth phoning up or worrying about.

The DQ comes out to you from the court, in a couple of weeks, if the PPC are proceeding.

I have already filled out the DQ and it has already been transferred to my local court. Does this mean that they are proceeding, and that there will be a hearing?

C-M - its already been transferred to the local court

OP - if the defence has been filed and you have your DQ, the claimant has ALREADY TOLD THE COURT TO PROCEED
It does that BEFORE a DQ is sent
So no idea what info youre working off, but you are *wrong*

DO NOT assume it is stayed. Keep on going, using post 2, and get on with your WS.

In that case why are you posting about a previous stage already in the past, where the Claimant didn't have to 'reply to defence'? Confusing! Why are you phoning the court?

Why wrongly assume the claim is stayed? Highly unlikely, this all sounds normal.

You will then (when they are ready) hear from your local court with the hearing date and the information on page two, telling all parties the date by which you both have to file WS and evidence, and the date by which the scammer then has to pay the hearing fee.

Given it's the Summer, and your court is likely to be busy, this might not come till August.

Nothing to be phoning anyone about - completely normal quiet stage right now which gives you a chance to read lots of WS and evidence by searching for similar cases already won.

So yes, so far it means they are proceeding. You cannot just assume things when you have a court claim ongoing, thats bloody dangerous.

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't intend to ignore any call to action on my end by my assumption, I was just confused by the process.

Post two lays it out exactly, so you find where you are, and read from there onwards.
