    It seems that Haswell was just using HMC&TS to do his dirty work. The problem is that HMC&TS have already said that you can send draft or copy court papers for "information purposes". Anything that stops a case getting to court seems to be OK with them.

    Does HMC&TS still get their money if a case is dropped/struck out

    Would be a shame if Hasbeen gets to keep his money

    Dont suppose we know what defence was submitted
    Obviously I do, but I'm not going to post it on a public forum.

    I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.

    The claimant forfeits the fee for the claim if it is struck out, or if the claimant drops the claim.

    If it proceeds to a hearing, there is a further fee to pay for that, which is added to the judgment if successful, but which is lost if the claim fails.

    All of which explains why the more sensible PPCs never do court, the financial risk outweighs the potential benefit.
