Case Stay lifted on the 2nd claim once again, and DQ sent out yesterday showing on MCOL. I have just fired back my DQ and received acknowledgment from both CCBC and dcblegal. Now we wait on this one, will update you all again in 5 business years when CCBC has cleared their workload because of these cowboys.

So the other Notice of Allocation has come through, hearing on the 24th of May. WS is due on 2nd May.

For the first charge in this thread, it was dropped around a week before I was due to submit my WS.

Is it worth just waiting until a few days before the WS is due to submit? On the off-chance that it'll get dropped before then?

Also one more question, despite the first claim being dropped (which happened around 3 months ago), it still shows on my MCOL with no updates, still stuck on "Claim transferred to local court". Is that normal or could have DCB tricked my by emailing it to me, but not actually discontinuing with the court?

It is worth waiting to the last minute anyway - not only for the reason you mention.
Filing and serving a Witness Statement before it is necessary gives your opponent an opportunity to challenge all the points you make when preparing their submission.

Thanks @KeithP - I’ll do that. Also wondering if you had any idea regarding this?

Once a case is transferred to a hearing court then MCOL plays no further part.
Therefore, it is quite reasonable, and to be expected, that the last entry on the MCOL Claim History will be exactly as you describe.

I have not read back through the thread to find out at what stage 'the claim was dropped'.
What does 'the claim was dropped' even mean?

With you, gone are the days of trickery from DCBL, they will face a judge not only with a dodgy claim but with the knowledge of courts knowing about their timewasting cases

Select your own court as is your right, nothing to do with DCBL

It's a great game of wits and that's why DCBL discontinue

Understood thanks. By dropped I mean discontinued sorry (this thread is about 2 claims, one of which discontinued in January). The other one ongoing now with a hearing date set.

Essentially what I’m trying to ask is that (with regards to the discontinued claim), is it possible that DCB sent me the email with the letter to discontinue without actually filing it with the court? And hence I’ve not turned up to a hearing which I was still expected to attend?
