@mouse, this is a good result. The judge has dealt with the N244 on the papers, vacated the original hearing and relisted the trial for 17 September 2026 at 10:00am. The costs of the application have been reserved, so the £123 fee can still be argued at the final hearing.
The only point not to overlook is the witness statement deadline. The new order changes the hearing date, but it does not expressly say that the earlier directions for witness statements and evidence have been varied. So do not assume another letter will automatically arrive with a fresh deadline.
Check the original Notice of Allocation. If it contained a specific date for exchanging witness statements and evidence, email Nottingham County Court now, attach the new order, and ask them to confirm whether that original deadline still stands or whether a revised deadline will be issued. Copy Gladstones in. In the meantime, keep preparing the witness statement rather than waiting.
