You don't have to check it at all, but if you want to know what's going on, check it every week/day/hour depending on your need.

Hi KeithP,
If you do not have to check it, what notification do we receive, an email from? 

KeithP

Have you abandoned that checklist you were once following?
You are now between items 6 and 7 on that list.

Oooops Lazy me.
"Do not be surprised to receive an early copy of the Claimant's Directions Questionnaire and the usual intimidating template letter saying they 'intend to proceed'. Nothing of interest there. Just file it.  YOU MAY HAVE TO WAIT TWO MONTHS OR SO FOR THE NEXT STEP TO HAPPEN:

Also we would like to wish you all a Merry Merry Christmas and a big thank for all of your help.

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).
