4. After sending off your Defence, the Northampton Business centre will send a copy to the Claimant, and then send a Directions Questionnaire (form N180) to both Claimant and Defendant. You must complete this by the date given, and send it back to Northampton, with a copy to the other side (or their solicitors if they've nominated one as the address for service). The recommended answers to the questions are as follows:

• A1 = NO to mediation (they want the whole amount, you want to pay them nothing, so no scope for mediation. This will not go against you)
• B = fill in all the details, name, address, etc
• C1 = YES to small claims track – this is the limited costs track for claims up to £10,000 in value
• D1 = name of your local County Court – unless you are a Ltd company, the case files will be transferred there
• D2 = NO to expert evidence (this relates to medical negligence cases and suchlike)
• D3 = 1 witness (that’s you) (or more if you are going to get another person to provide a statement)
• D4 = Put down the dates of any pre-booked holidays, NO to interpreter (unless you need one).

Note: Gladstones are currently including a 'request for special directions' asking the Court to hear the case on the papers only, without an oral hearing. You should oppose this, and include the following text in D1: “The Defendant opposes the Claimant’s request for special directions, and requests that the case be listed for an oral hearing at the defendant’s home court, pursuant to CPR 26.2A(3)”.

Also when it comes to sending my N180 via email, I have downloaded the form however the blank hard copy they sent me has the wet court stamp at the top of page 1 which obviously will not be on my digital copy, I presume this will not be an issue?

Yea I appreciate that mate and I can see how it must be frustrating for you guys who are constantly helping out us newbies. Nout wrong with clarifying the process for peace of mind though surely. I will be sure to try to limit my clarity posts as the process plays out.
Thank you

Hi guys, quick update.
I have recived a completed N180 from gladstones and a blank N180 from Northampton court that I will fill out today and send back to them. However it states I must send a copy of my completed N180 to gladstones also. Is it just a case of filling one out and sending it with a dimple covering letter to gladstones?
Regards
Ben

Yes.
