Hi,
No I did not pay any counterclaim fee. In fact, I did not respond to the Notice to Pay and the notes on that suggested if I did not pay then that would be dismissed or words to that effect.
With the papers I sent you as an attachment the exact copy of the response I filed with the Court by email and also posted to them together with the Defence you provided the case laws and draft Order.
Does that help you?
All was sent by email and by post within specified times.
