Small Claims Court - dispute resolved: how do I...
Discussion
...advise the court that it is over?
The roofer I had to sue has sent me a cheque for the money I paid. I'll wait for it to definately clear the bank then write to him to confirm I am dropping the claim. I also think I have to advise the court (the form they sent me isnt that clear). It was a paper rather than electronic claim.
Could anyone point me to the relevant form or process for advising the Money Claims Centre that I am happy?

I had a hearing booked at 10 am this morning, defendant settled at 4 pm yesterday afternoon, court not open til 10 am this morning, I rang them and they said nothing they could do, the hearing still took place, only the judge would be sitting twiddling his fingers.
She did however give me an email address asking me to confirm details, I did this, asking for conformation that they got it, that was 10.05 this morning, not heard anything as yet.

Civil cases require a Consent or Tomlin Order to be filed with the court which contains the terms of agreement between the parties.
Claims allocated to the Small Claims Track are handled in a less formal way. When I was in practice, a letter from the Claimant to the Court confirming the action has settled was usually sufficient. Or you could advise that your are discontinuing the action as there are no adverse costs consequences.
