I have had same situation when ex solicitor had court notice and I did receive it couple months later. What have heard and I experienced myself court don't pay attention to someone has not solicitor and pretty much any one read my post would agree.
I managed to have it adjourned. She’s now asked me to pay for her barrister that turned up on the day (this is in children matters in the family court)!
@londondad22 Far as I know when a court date is adjourned, court gets agreement from both parties. happened to me in past. so don't see why you should be having to pay for her lawyer turning up. they should have been informed just like you.
She argues it’s because I didn’t include her in my communications to the court and I didn’t give her enough notice
You don't have to communicate with her Its up to the court to advise her solicitor of the situation, not you. Ignore it. Is she on legal aid?
@champagne she’s not on legal aid. She’e litigant in person with a direct access barrister
