Could you please the way forward?
**** there! I understand you need some legal guidance. Could you please provide me with a brief description of your legal issue? This way I can give you more specific information and advice.
I'm a defendant in a Civil court case. On * September *, I submitted my defence statement. On * October *, I received an acknowledgement; from the court, which said, ".....the Claimant must contact the court within 28 days after receiving a copy of your defence..." Now, it has been nearly * weeks, and I have heard nothing. I called the court today, and they said the Claimant has not replied to the defence. where can I go from here?
If the claimant has not replied within the specified time frame, you can apply to the court to have the claim struck out due to the claimant's failure to proceed. This can be done by filing an N244 form and paying the relevant fee.
Would you like more details on how to proceed with this application?
Thank you for your time. The court said the same.
It seems like you've already got the guidance on applying to have the claim struck out due to the claimant’s failure to proceed. If you need further details, here’s a brief outline:
- Fill in the N244 form.
- Pay the required fee.
- Attend any court hearings if scheduled.
Do you need help with any other part of the process or any other legal matter?
