Hi All.

Received the following letter of acknowledgment from the court and tribunals service.

Looks like nothing to do at the this point but thought I would update for anyone who may want to follow this process in the future.

I guess I was hoping the judge may just throw this one out before it goes back to the claimant.

It won't be struck out or discontinued until the claim has been transferred to your local county court. Patience!

Hi All,

I have received a letter from Moorside Legal. They are pursing the claim and sent me a copy of their Directions Questionnaire for the courts.

It doesn't feel like I need to do anything from my side yet but just thought I would update this case and double check that.

here is the documents received.

You’ve submitted your own Directions Questionnaire have you? In which you define your local court and why you require a hearing in person?

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.

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.

Hi @b789,

At present I have just received a reply from the UKCPS lawyers (moorside). It states they have received my defense and are pursing the claim anyway and have attached the N180 they have submitted.

I haven't received anything from the courts about the N180.

Would you proceed with sending one anyway?(following the method you mentioned)

Or should I wait until I here something from the courts

Thanks

You should receive one in the post soon. However, you can check your MCOL history to see when they sent yours and then just action it the way as advised in my earlier post.

There's nothing to stop you downloading your own now and filling it in, ready send off. It's just administrative stuff.

Hi @b789. Just sending off my N180 as you suggested. You mentioned sending it to the courts by email and info@dcblegal.co.uk.

My Claimaint is moorside so I guess I just replace that email with a moorside one?

Also I have left my phone number and email off the N180 and only entered an address. Is this ok? I don’t want the claimant having any details they don’t have to have but wasn’t sure if the courts need this.

Thanks

Given that you will be sending the N180 by email to the claimant's solicitor, they'll already have your email. You will need to provide a phone number for your mediation appointment as attending these is now mandatory.

Mediation meeting date set.

Any advice or pointers?

Does the fact my defence only mentioned their admin errors stop me from mentioning particulars from the parking ticket itself?

Thanks

Don’t get drawn into this sort of discussion.
The person running the mediation is not legally trained.
You simply offer £0 to have the prosecution withdrawn, but £0 is what you’ll pay if you stay on track.
End of mediation call and boxes ticked all round.

I would recommend not getting drawn into any protracted debate about the case. You can state that you stand by your defence, a copy of which the claimant has already received, and that as such you do not believe you owe anything, and are only prepared to offer £0 in return for the claimant discontinuing the case.

Once it becomes clear you are not prepared to settle, it should be over fairly quickly.

Court date set.

Documents received here.
https://ibb.co/b5sR3gYP
https://ibb.co/23qydDkr
https://ibb.co/qYG9kBjP

I have received the letter informing me that the court date is set for in person. Sheffield county court.

Date is set for 19th September.
Claimant must pay trial fee by 22nd August.

Hearing documents to be sent 14days prior to court date. (5th September)

Questions I have.

1) Now this has been given a court date. Does this mean the judge has decided to let it proceed and not strike it out? Or could this still happen.

2) Should I just wait and see if the court fee is paid before doing anything else. With the claimant now having to pay this fee and commit a person to the trial is there a chance they back down? 🤞

3) Should I come back here if they pay the trial fee for help with my defence?

Thanks

Do not bother with any documents unless the claim is not dropped by 23 August. If you don’t hear anything, call the court on 23 August, but you should be notified of a discontinuation.

The judge has nothing to do with it, it’s up to the claimant to pay the fee or discontinue.

If the do pay, come back here of course.
