I have a small claims hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice. What should I wear?
Suit and tie would be conventional, but anything tidy would be fine. I take it you're at Central London in the Thomas More building in front of one of the District Judges?

Correct. It was originally a remote hearing at Bromley County Court last year but the defendant turned up and said he had to go to a funeral and hadn't been advised of the hearing date until the evening before so it was adjourned until next Friday.
They've requested trial bundles be emailed to Bromley still. There is no mention of the judge's name. -
The hearing was yesterday. The defendant didn’t turn up and the judge viewed in my favour. They will be sending a court order to the defendant to pay the debt within 14 days.
I just looked the defendant’s company up on companies house and there is a First Gazette Notice of compulsory strike off from 2 April.
Could this be an attempt to avoid the court order or just coincidental timing?
They had a strike off notice back in Aug 2023, but it was discontinued the following day.I appreciate I’ve replied without knowing what type of law you practice but any help would be massively appreciated!

I’m the claimant, not that it should make a difference.
