Just follow this advice:

Quote
Do not use the paper form. Ignore all the other forms that came with it. You can discard those. Download your own N180 here and fill it in on your computer. You sign it by simply typing your full name in the signature box.

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/673341e779e9143625613543/N180_1124.pdf

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.

Hello all,

I just had this sent through. Was curious as to your thoughts on it?

I'm a bit confused as to if I have to act now or wait to see if the claimant files a properly completed application.

Many thanks.

All standard stuff. It is the court directions order. The hearing is set for 20th November. The claimant must pay the trial fee of £27 by 4pm on 23rd October. If they don't pay it by that deadline, the claim is struck out and they will be liable for your costs.

Should they pay it, then both parties have a deadline of 14 days before the hearing to submit their Witness Statements to the court (and each other). So, 6th November is the WS deadline.

If you've heard nothing by 4pm on 23rd October, come back and let us know. You will have to call the court and check whether the claimant has discontinued the claim and whether the hearing has been vacated.

Put the date in your diary. I suspect that they will discontinue. However, if they don't, the claim should not be heard anyway as the claim was never served within 4 months of it being issued. That is fatal to their claim.

Thank you so much. Would the issue of the possibility of it being statute barred still be worth using?

It is not "statute barred" per se. The "four-month dead rule" means that once a claim form is issued by the court, it must be properly served on the defendant within four months. If it's not served in that time, the claim becomes invalid or "dead".

The court may allow more time, but only in extremely limited circumstances and usually before the deadline expires. If the claim isn't served in time and no extension is granted, the case is likely to be struck out, even if it was issued within the limitation period.

CPR 7.6 applies:

• A claimant can apply to the court to extend the time for serving a claim form.
• This application should normally be made before the original 4-month deadline expires.
• If the application is made after the deadline, the court can only grant an extension if:

1. The court itself failed to serve the claim form, or
2. The claimant took all reasonable steps to serve it but couldn’t, and
3. The claimant acted promptly in applying for the extension.

The rule is strict. If they miss the deadline and don’t meet these conditions, the court cannot extend time—even if the claim was issued in time.

This was confirmed in Vinos v Marks & Spencer plc [2001] 3 All ER 784, where the Court of Appeal held that CPR 7.6(3) is a self-contained code and the court has no discretion to extend time outside its terms.

Well, the deadline passed today, and I have heard nothing. I did try to call the court but I was on hold for an enormous amount of time and had to hang up to go do other things. Will call again in the morning to confirm whether or not the hearing has been discontinued.

Being over burdened as they are, you are often on hold for ages. Phoning first thing is often sensible.

I finally got through, apparently they did pay the court fee on the 17th October so the hearing should still be going ahead.

Can you please re-share (using a suitable third party site like ImgBB) the letter from the court advising of the hearing date etc.

Both parties have until 4pm on Thursday 6th November to submit their WS.  DO NOT submit anything before you see their WS. You can start preparing your own WS. It is simply your version of all the events, written in the first person. Any WS will also need to point out to the court all the technical errors that were listed in your defence.

Unfortunately, all the images of the documents you hosted are not available any more. I need to know, urgently, the name and position of every person from QDR who corresponded with you and the court. DO NOT redact any names of these people or their position or title. I have reason to believe that the person conducting the litigation on behalf of QDR is not authorised to do so and has been doing so in breach of the Legal Services Act 2007 (LSA).

So, start putting together your own WS and show us copies of ALL correspondence from QDR with the persons name and position unredacted. This also means ANY forms submitted that you were copied into, including any PoC/Claim/N180DQ etc.

Thank you, I will go through all the emails and get them up over the weekend.

I have quickly looked through them all just now though and they all appear to end the same, with just a signature box signed 'QDR Solicitors' and the email address appears to always just be the 'defended.qdr' one. Never any mention of actual names.

I will go through them all thoroughly over the weekend and get them up asap.

There is at least one form signed by a paralegal. I will upload everything tonight or tomorrow. Is Google Drive OK to use here? The files are about 40mb in 2 PDFs.

Google Drive is fine, just make sure the privacy settings are such that we can view them.
