I'm not sure if the courts are open there. I have a small claim against someone right now. Due to Covid, the whole case is just online. I don't even get to face the guy in court. So far my guy hasn't answered the suit. The judge declared I won the case by default. Now I waiting on his
responce to collecting. I'm not holding my breath but it sucks he will go on with his business and not pay me a penny.
I bet the OP case is so delayed due to covid, but maybe that will help him with so much time passing.
