    If it's the letter from the CCBC telling you that the case has been transferred to Ipswich, then there probably isn't much point in asking for another copy.

    Are you sure you haven't missed any post from Ipswich County Court?
    Maybe you should ring them and ask about progress.

    Come on, you'll have to do better than that if you want anyone to understand what is going on.

    You have a letter... who is it from?

    Date is 6th December... no it isn't, it's 19th October.

    Anything else on that letter that might be useful?

    What did Ipswich County Court have to say when you rang them?

    The letter I got in response to N244 had only a date, time and location. (Also 30 mins at my local court) They didn’t ask for any more documentation, I assume because they already had a WS and DO as part of the application to set aside. I then chose to submit a skelly but wasn’t asked for it.

    After the set aside hearing, I then got another letter giving me details of what documentation and the deadlines for the second hearing which is about defending the claim. I.e a defence and another skelly.

    Wouldn't it be a defence and witness statement defending the underlying claim?  The WS they (the court presumably) already have is the WS supporting the N244 application.

    I suggest you do find it.....
    Contact the local court (Ipswich) who will advise, email them, dont bother phoning as they use a centralised phone number for that area and its almost impossible to get through

    Sorry, I was hurried, and typing on my phone. I have fixed the punctuation
    Its from Norwich Couty Court (but the hearing is in Ipswich).
     
    Ipswich C.C just said they have the application and i'd hear soon. They said there's no point in re-sending

    Defending the initial claim is worrying- I've literally no recollection of parking there or anything...

    I am pretty sure it didn't advise I take any action, just that ICC/NCC had my application

    If you win the mandatory set-aside argument under 13.2, you won’t need to prove you have a reasonable prospect of defence for a discretionary set-aside for 13.3. I think anything like a draft defence that you can provide the judge to grant a discretionary set aside under 13.3 is worth including, just in case you need to rely on it. (I needed it, and I wasn’t expecting to)

    You’ll then only need to defend the claim if the C is able to still able pursue you. (Which is the stage I’m at)

    But others on here are better at advising on this. And the letter is the only thing to give you real assurance.

    Yea, but that's exactly the same as close to half the defences written here. Dead easy to write.

    Read a few claim/defence threads while you are awaiting Directions re the set aside application.
