Received form N180 today. Is this normal process?
They wish to allocate to Small Track.
The claimant’s N180?
In due course you need to file your own, ignore the paper version posted to you, instead

Having received your own N180 (make sure it is not simply a copy of the claimants N180), do not use the paper form. Ignore all the other forms that came with it. you can discard those. Download your own here and fill it in on your computer. You sign it by simply typing your full name in the signature box.

Here are the answers to some of the less obvious questions:

• The name of the court is "Civil National Business Centre".

• To be completed by "Your full name" and you are the "Defendant".

• C1: "YES"

• D1: "NO". Reason: "I wish to question the Claimant about their evidence at a hearing in person and to expose omissions and any misleading or incorrect evidence or assertions.
Given the Claimant is a firm who complete cut & paste parking case paperwork for a living, having this case heard solely on papers would appear to put the Claimant at an unfair advantage, especially as they would no doubt prefer the Defendant not to have the opportunity to expose the issues in the Claimants template submissions or speak as the only true witness to events in question.."

• F1: Whichever is your nearest county court. Use this to find it: https://www.find-court-tribunal.service.gov.uk/search-option

• F3: "1".

• Sign the form by simply typing your full name for the signature.

When you have completed the form, attach it to a single email addressed to both dq.cnbc@justice.gov.uk and info@dcblegal.co.uk and CC in yourself. Make sure that the claim number is in the subject field of the email.

Looks like a court issued N180 for the Defendant

Defendant received a call today from SCMS, having missed their initial appointment confirmation email and not realised who they were talking to. They thought it was the defendant's representative (DCB Legal).

The SMCS caller  was pushing for a reduced settlement of £200 in place of the £265 current owed amount. They also said that they could not see that the Defendant had any valid claim in Court and it would therefore be in their best interest to settle.  The D, not realising that they were speaking to the SCMS, refused the offer, and a subsequent "Mediation Not Settled" email arrived shortly after.

Was this the correct course of action? I was not aware that the SCMS advise parties what their chances of winning a case are.

They shouldn't, and the defendant should complain about this conduct.

Was it the correct course of action to refuse the settlement, in this particular case?

Unless the defendant would have prepared to pay UKPC £200, yes.

Definitely lodge a formal complaint with SCMS. Their ‘mediator’ is not legally trained and should never offer an opinion on the validity of your defence.

The correct course of action was to offer £0 and that should be the end of the matter as far as SCMC is concerned. The mediation is not part of the judicial process.
