Rescheduled FDA and no directions

Respondents FDA was meant to be in Feb but it had been agreed by solicitors to use the Accelerated Procedure with an agreed order. The court didn't get the order and have now re-listed the FDA. Many of the dates in the agreed order have long passed with no action from either party as there were no directions from the court.
Now the applicants solicitor has requested exchange of replies to questionairre and action on other parts of the order, even though it hasn't been signed by the judge and the original dates have passed, so there is in reality no timescales. Does the respondent have to do this or should he wait for the court to give directions? He is now self representing so doesn't want to delay matters unnecessarily but also wants to make sure he's not doing something he doesn't need to. Thank you.

You should be doing everything you can to speed up the process of settlement. Things like answering questionnaires etc are pretty standard. The judge's intervention would only be necessary if e.g. There were inappropriate questions that should be struck out.

You really don't need the court to rubber stamp directions that have been agreed.
