If you haven't received a Statement of Defense after filing an employment claim, here are the key steps to take: 1. Check the deadline - Typically, defendants have 28-30 days to file their defense (timing varies by jurisdiction) - Count from the date they were served with your claim 2. Document attempts to receive it - Keep records of all communication - Note the date you were supposed to receive it 3. Take action: - Contact the court/tribunal registry to confirm if a defense was filed - If no defense was filed, you may be able to: * Request default judgment * Proceed with your case uncontested * Get an order compelling them to respond 4. Consider seeking directions - Ask the court/tribunal for procedural directions - Request a case management hearing I can provide more specific guidance based on your jurisdiction and the type of employment claim, if helpful.
