    No, it has not taken place and today I recieved a loooong answer from their lawyers with a lot of demands to answer to, but I read somewhere that since I got the actual inquest, I dont need to answer them anymore since their time to answer is in default.. Is that correct? Since they answered (even though a late answer) I guess they are serious, and I wonder if I am better of now with the inquest or can they "stop" the inquest from taking place somehow? Thanks for a great reply, I really appreciated it! /J

    Hi LAWMED, thanks for your response. In this case, I am the plaintiff and I was able to get an inquest against the defendant who is a large private owned corporation with an external law firm representing them. They failed to answer within the 20 days, so thats why I got the inquest. Since I am not a lawyer I wonder if this is a benefit for me? And I also wonder what happens if they were to file an answer now after I received the inquest, at the courthouse they said that they cant file an answer if I have an inquest. Is that true? For me it seems risky for them to have me one sided at a hearing if they cant be present? But again, I might got this the wrong way. Thanks for any knowledge. // Joshua
