Biting back with a vengeance

Summary Judgment applications really are for open and shut cases, but the problem is that everybody always thinks their case is open and shut.
They can go on just as long as normal hearings. As the case isn't allocated to a track, costs are not limited. So beware that if you fail - and the sole purpose is to prevent it going to a normal hearing - you could easily end up owing the parking company £500 in costs even if you win at the final hearing.

I sent the Full Summary Judgement application yesterday and having logged on to MCOL today I see that both defendants are showing as - A bar was put in place for CP Plus Ltd on 05/11/2025 and the same for Ranger Services. 
How does this affect things as they have both submitted a defence already. 
Since the bar was placed they have both been sent Direction Questionnaires.
It's a bit of conundrum. Can I write to the court and ask that since the defences have been procedurally barred,  to simply rule in my favour unless the defendants obtain permission from the court to set aside the bars.
In other words - to allow my claim even before looking at my Summary Judgement application.
The bars were placed a fortnight ago so they have had ample opportunity to seek that permission.
