The whole legal system is broken, I've had tussles with very rude and intimidating CC judges over the last 20 years. They messed my partner around with a substantial claim about 8 years ago, cancelling at the last minute, next session was som 4 months later at a court in town M, then moved t a day-s notice to town R, then we were delayed on the way to town R, phoned the court to advise of delays, only to be told the cae was at a court in town D starting in ten minutes. we were still 30 miles away at the time. My partner won her claim but never, ever, received any paperwork for the case which still remains only part-paid.
All I can suggest is to get the striking out order overturned if that is possibly. did you claim through MCOL? they are usually quite helpful.
