UKPC PCN - No Payment - Lower Precinct Shopping Centre, Coventry

As long as the point is made clearly, it really doesn’t matter.

My wife's had a voicemail from someone at DCB Legal, asking her to call back because, 'they have a message for her'.

Should my wife call? What's it likely to be about?

No.

They want to offer some kind of settlement which involves your wife paying them >£0.

Block the number if you can. Everything in writing.

They will carry on until 2 April trying to get something out of her.

Thanks. That's what we thought

Email sent this afternoon ✅

My wife had a reply from the courts today.

Good afternoon,

Your email dated 7th March 2025 was referred to Deputy District Judge Aikman who has commented as follows:
 
‘Please inform the Defendant that she must comply with the directions order dated 24th February 2025 and that the hearing of the matter will proceed on 30th April 2025.’

Wait and see if the claimant submits their WS before the deadline. If they have not discontinued or submitted their WS by the 22nd March, remind me here and I will assist to prepare a suitable WS for you to submit.

The DDJ has erred and I am seeking advice on what this could mean if you are not allowed to plead a proper amended defence should the claimant actually submit further amended PoC.

According to a District Judge I have just spoken with about this matter, he has suggested that you do not need to worry. The hearing judge is likely to pick up on this and will try to sort it out, possibly after an adjournment. He has said that there is no point in trying to submit any evidence on your part before the hearing.

A hearing where the claimant has been allowed to submit a Witness Statement in order to remedy an inadequate statement of case, and attempt to rectify procedural failings at a later stage is an abuse of process.

Thought you'd like to see this...
