Weird, we often read on here that Gmail doesn't work for sending to CCBC whilst Hotmail does and Hotmail doesn't work on Pepipoo but Gmail does!

How long does it usually take for them to send out the questionnaire? I submitted my defence on 30th May and received the automatic reply but havent heard anything yet. MCOL says it was received, but thats all ive heard so far.

The CCBC sent you a letter, or will send you a letter, saying the Claimant has 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 Directions Questionnaire as promptly as you might like.

And this recent thread indicates that longer delays are likely... CCBC are currently 26 days behind with DQs

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 at the CCBC, remembering to send a copy to the Claimant of course?

So yesterday my partner received a letter from DCB legal saying:-

'Having reviewed the content of your Defence, we are writing to inform you that our client intends to proceed with the claim.
The court will direct both parties to file directions questionnaires in due course. In anticipation of that we are enclosing a copy.
Without prejudice to the above, in order to assist the court in achieving its overriding objective, our client may be prepared to settle this case. Therefore, in the event you wish to discuss settlement, please call us within 7 days and make immediate reference to this correspondence.'

So does this mean he will end up going to court?

How come the defence didnt work?

Of course it didn't work they are taking their normal approach of going as far as possible for a cave in, but note the offer to settle, all part of their greedy bullying game.

There has only ever been one leaving site case that went to court and the judge was so annoyed about it he threatened the claimants solicitor with a few nights away at her Majesty's pleasure, now known affectionately as "The Toothbrush Case".
