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!

Coincidence. This is Companies House pushing the strike off as the company hasn't provided some documents (normally accounts or confirmation statement) so it's on Companies House's timetable.
