The typical timescales.
|
Matters usually take between 4 – 26 weeks from receipt of instructions from you to receipt of payment from the other side, depending on whether or not it is necessary to issue a claim. This is on the basis that the other side pays promptly on receipt of Judgement in default.
If enforcement action is needed, the matter will take longer to resolve.
