No.
MCOL is out of the loop once a case is allocated to a court.
Send it to the court directly.
That’s what the letter says, and
The County Court at Nottingham - 60 Canal Street Nottingham Nottinghamshire NG1 7EJ

Okay thank you jfollows. I was confused because the General From of Judgement or Order states that we must 'deliver to the Claimant and the Court an Amended Defence' but then the link you sent states that my local court is no longer able to accept claim forms.


So just to clarify, we need to send a new defence to the Claimant (DCB Legal?) and to Nottingham County Court, by post?

Is it common for the defence that we submitted, which was copied from this thread last year, to be struck out as ours has?

I wouldn't say it is common, but we've seen it happen a few times.

One of the inherent issues with templates is that if they become used regularly, judges start seeing them regularly, and anecdotally, many prefer to actually engage with the facts of the case rather than deal with two parties swapping boilerplates.

You’re not sending a claim form, you’re sending an amended defence at the specific request of the court. So post or email, copying the claimant’s solicitor, yes.

The other problem with copying templates is that many people using them don’t understand them. @b789, formerly of this forum, seems to have a personal crusade to take over peoples’ defences, let’s just say that I prefer advice and guidance to enable defendants to write their own defences and understand them.
