Thanks @KeithP & @Le_Kirk
i have not received my DQ (Form N180) from CCBC yet. so i downloaded from the link provided. i have filled the form as advised.
I have one query.
1. Do i print it, sign it, scan it and then email it back to CCBC same as defence.
or
2. do i not need to print and sign, and instead just type my full name in the "signature" box of the form and email it back to CCBC.

Hello All,
can someone please tell me how long does it take for court to send me my set of direct. questionnaire. i still havent received mine yet. claimant copy was received by me on 27 nov. (dated 22 nov.)

KeithP

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.

hello All,
i have received a "Dispute resolution hearing" date. 
i have to submit witness statement and evidence.
can someone please help me / direct me prepairing these and submitting them.

and also i would like to ask , is it possible that instead of me going to the court can i send my friend to court, i will provide him the full authority to speak and decide on my behalf!! please let me know if this is possible.

You can look at witness statements by @jrhys and @Nosy for examples of style and format but the content must be yours and support and back up your defence.  The named defendant MUST attend any and all court hearings.  You can have a McKenzie friend or a Lay Rep with you (Auntie Google will explain both of those).

Umkomaas

Not possible for your friend to go without you. Look up the role of the Lay Representative. 

 Are you sure it's a physical hearing or one conducted by video/telephone link.  

Examples of good Witness Statements - check out threads by @nosy and @jrhys.

thankyou Le_kirk and umkomaas for replying.

thank you both for providing the links for witness statement examples, however when i click the links it takes me to the sort of a profile page for Nosy, jrhys. i cant see any examples of witness statements.

so i understand that i must attend the court. 
i still will ask my friend to come with me to court and speak on my behalf (I understand after reading on google a bit about Lay rep, that my friend can be my lay rep.) but just wanted to confirm that that he is neither a solicitor/trainee solicitor nor with any such legal qualifcation. can he still be my lay rep and speak on my behalf while i will be with him in court. please let me know.

You've posted 3 times the same thing ... but I think it was a forum issue. (I had a similar issue just now). However you won't be able to delete the duplicates yet.

On their profile pages, on the left menus you should see something like Discussions Started - click on it and you should find threads that they started (which may not be that many); their WS examples will be in one of their threads.
