No paperwork from court 11 days after I win Section 8 hearing?

No paperwork from court 11 days after I win Section 8 hearing?

After gaining a section 8 hearing on 16 July .. the defendant didn’t attend – the judge awarded 14 days notice for the tenant to leave. The rent, my court expenses and the tenant’s deposit to me. That was 11 days ago!

The PCOL system isn’t running. I haven’t received anything in writing to confirm the judge’s words to me.

I have no idea if the tenant has received notification of the judgment and the court doesn’t have a direct phone number.

The court has not replied to my 2 emails sent on days 6 and 7 after the judgement. I paid £391 for the services of this court which are not happening.

I am at my wits end…. in 4 days time I should be gaining possession of my property, but without any paperwork can I have my property back?

Can anyone advise me what I can do next?

Many thanks

Marita

You have to wait to be court type the order up, then 14 dats later apply for a warrant of possession.

On receipt of the order the tenant has 14 days to have it set aside.

They may also get 2 months breathing space if they ask for it

The court system does not work in this country. In exactly the same circumstances the court took 6 weeks to write to the tenant telling them they had to leave in 14 days, i.e. 28 days before they wrote... Hence we always use the mis named no fault evictions. (actually should be the "no reason given")

Thank you Ross. Initially I did serve a Section 21, but our dear council told the tenant to ignore it. Then the arrears were such a Section 8 was served. I was overjoyed the hearing was 5 weeks after my application, but now I am absolutely gutted at the breakdown of the law. So, if the legal system is broken who can anyone trust anymore?
