County Court Claim Form

You would be wise to start a separate thread for this second Claim.

Can anyone help please.
When should I expect to receive the Directions questionnaire from the county court? 

I have had an email from the claimant stating that they wish to proceed with the claim and have attached a copy of their completed questionnaire on the 18/10/21 and that I would receive one from the court which I am still yet to receive.
Would I be better off printing my own and sending it straight off to the court?

The CCBC sent you a letter, or will send you a letter, saying the Claimant had twenty eight days to consider your Defence.

What you don't know is when the CCBC sent a copy of your Defence to the Claimant. 

It follows from that that it is not known when the Claimant has to respond to the CCBC. 

Further, we don't know what delays there are in the CCBC that means they don't send you a DQ as promptly as you might like.

Can I suggest that you keep checking your MCOL Claim History and as soon as you see that the CCBC has sent a DQ to you, you are ready to download a DQ, complete it and fire it back to the CCBC, remembering to send a copy to the Claimant of course.

i have just received the directions questionnaire from the ccbc, should this be returned by email and post or is email alone enough?

Email only , as explained in the newbies FAQ sticky thread near the top of the forum in announcements in the second post , plus the 12 numbered steps you should be following in the defence template post

Download the pdf , fill it in , email it to the ccbcaq email address

Email is quite sufficient and can be dealt with by someone working from home on a laptop

Letter post is old school , pre pandemic

hi, can someone please offer me some advice. i was allocated a date of feb 18th for this trial, with having so much other stuff going on I completely forgot about this, and have now realised that I haven't delivered copies of all documents of which i intend to rely on at the hearing and it is now 11 days until the hearing, correspondence from the court clearly states no later than fourteen days before the hearing. 
Have i messed up bad or is there a way around this?

its a hearing about a civil dispute, not a trial ( a trial is about criminality )

you need to get your WS bundle to the court and claimant ASAP, if not sooner , or you will probably lose, so tomorrow  !! no slacking , just do it , court and claimant , 2 email addresses , one bundle as a pdf etc

follow those 12 steps in the defence template post

Semantics maybe, but a hearing in a County Court can rightly be called a trial.

I have already sent the defence ages ago. This is the witness statement right? there is no need for me to send the defence again is there?
