What if all of the claim is defended?

If the defendant has filed a defence against your claim, the court will send you and the defendant a copy for the defence, together with a notice and a Directions Questionnaire. The Directions Questionnaire is for you to help the court decide how your claim should be dealt with.

If you are claiming against more than one defendant, the court will send you a notice once they receive the first defence. But they will not send any other documents until they have received the other defences too.
