I just wonder if someone could explain to me what compelling a Defence is in Court Proceedings. The defendants in our building claim - 90k- have not issued a Defence despite 3 months gone by. My solicitor is getting a motion to compel them to do so. Well this work? What exactly is it? Does it hold them in contempt of Court if they don't issue a Defence. I'm not sure why they wouldn't at least try to issue a Defence.
