Re-send the defence you sent last October, plus the acknowledgment of its receipt, and ask them what they’re playing at by saying your defence is missing.

You are not responsible for their ****-up.

ok will do. The defence was never submitted to the court by me, only to the parking cmpany and then the parking ombudsman (a year and a half ago) so I guess MET parking didn't include it - is it their responsibility to include my defence?

Anyway, will send something in during the week.


As per Reply #32 you needed to submit your defence to the court.
You didn’t, so you could have received a default judgement against you, but it looks like you’re being given a second chance. Take it! Waiting a few days is a bad idea. MET can apply for a default judgement against you tomorrow because of your failure to file a defence. Don’t mess about!

It’s your defence and your responsibility. Nothing to do with MET or anyone else.

I submitted the defence as stated in your post of 21st October and have received an acknowledgement from the CNBC.

Sorry, I was getting confused.

I did submit the defence you provided as per #32 and have a copy of it, and also a letter from HM Courts & Tribunals Service which says 'I acknowledge receipt of your defence. A copy is being served on the claimant.' etc etc.

The defence as per #32 was about how the claimant didn't provide enough details etc, do I now have to include reasons why I believe the parking ticket was not valid, i.e. I stayed less than the permitted 90 minutes and was a customer?.

Thanks

No, as in Reply #45, if you submitted a defence and it was acknowledged that’s your defence, you need to re-send it and ask them what they’re on about by saying that you didn’t submit one.

thank you, now re-submitted, together with the acknowledgement of receipt

Hi.
I received this from the county court today. I think I need to put together a defence - is this within 28 days of the claimant filing their Full paticulars of Claim?


14+5 days from the date on the N1SDT form, unless you file an Acknowledgment of Service by this deadline, in which case you get an additional 14 days to file a defence.

However you haven’t posted anything and this thread says you have already submitted a defence.

Not sure how to attach but the letter says:

It is ordered that:

1. The claimant must by (14 days) file and serve a Fully Particularised Particulars of Claim to include full details of:

a. the terms of the alleged contract which has been breached;
b. how the alleged contract was breached (including date, time and location);
c. A breakdown of the sums claimed.

2. The Defendant must by (28 days) file and serve a Fully Particularised Amended Defence to the Fully Particularised Particulars of Claim.

3. Note: A party affected by this order may apply, not more than 7 days after it is served on the m, to have it set aside, varied or stayed.

Reply #1 said you should read https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/read-this-first-private-parking-charges-forum-guide/

The defence you submited per Reply #32 is increasingly struck out as being boilerplate and not specific to the claim, just as the claimant’s Particulars of Claim were struck out. So you need to read the more specific revised Particulars of Claim, to be received within 14 days, and submit a more specific defence than previously submitted in response, within 28 days as you say.

Thank you. Just wondering next steps as my defence was that the claimant had not provided sufficient details of their claim. Assuming they now do so (and I will copy it here), do I get 28 days from the date they file their revised details of claim?

I don’t think so, but you’re the one with the letter from the court. You go by what this says.

Return and post up the revised PoC once the Claimant submits them.
