I am progressing a CCJ action against another party, i.e. I am the claimant, and we have done all of the preliminaries and a court date was organised, etc. I sent off my documentary evidence as required, but the defendent has now responded to the court that they will not be attending the court (because they don't want to and not beacuse they cannot). So...
(1) Will I still get a court appearance or does the court make a decision based on the evidence it already has?
(2) From experience, will the non-appearance of the defendent greatly increase my chances of winning?
(3) Do I still need to prepare for the court case as if the defendents were there at court? Or do I need to do something special or different?
