Other side blatantly flouting court deadlines any repercussions ?

Long story short this has been a tactic throughout. Giving me 6 days notice of proceedings for family court preventing me from attending due to childcare. At the last hearing I alerted the judge to this and she put in very clear deadlines. A month has passed and he still hasn’t responded trying to blame me even though it in no way affects the orders they are to respond to.
My deadline is Monday. I obviously cannot respond until I have their responses.
The judge suggested any late “evidence” may not be considered.
Do I respond as though they’ve sent nothing to meet my deadline or am I late due to their lateness and risking the judge not allowing my evidence ?

Can I ask for them to be penalised. Throughout the whole process he’s basically done whatever he likes and it’s been upheld. When I’ve challenged it, it’s been thrown out.

Can you write your opinion and then add on the bottom something along these lines?
“As I have still heard nothing from MR xxxx despite the deadline being (insert date) I can only assume he is continuing his pattern of ignoring all reasonable requests and deadlines.”

So he is claiming I am frustrating the sake of the property and trying to get a 21 day eviction order. Everything is in relation to me responding to whatever bullshit he tried to come up with.

I can’t prove I haven’t if that makes sense.

There is another matter I’m requested bank statements etc for which again he’s completely ignoring and if experience is anything to go by that’ll work out well for him

I would send your response and state you've not received anything as has been the case consistently throughout the case. Add an appendix with evidence of each of these occasions for when received etc versus court submission dates.

Thank you, I just wish there was a consequence for taking the piss. There never seems to be
