    I logged in to MCOL and got the following option to choose from:

    Acknowledgment of Service
    Start AOS
    If you need 28 days (rather than 14) from the date of service to prepare your defence, or wish to contest the court's jurisdiction, complete the Acknowledgment of Service (AOS).

    Start Defence
    If you dispute the whole claim or wish to make a claim (a counterclaim) against the claimant, complete the defence form.

    Start Part Admission
    If you admit part of the amount claimed, complete the Admission and the Defence form.

    Should I click to AOS or start defence. on the newbies topic, it is mentioned:
    You should now Acknowledge Service of the claim, ticking the box that says you will defend in full.

    But the wording is confusing. Please advise.

    I understand that I have to defence full, but I've got two option to choose from.
    Start AOS, or Start Defence. There is no option for Defence Full.

    You can do what I would do and just search this board (NOT the whole of MSE!) for 'Jopson defence'.

    Hi guys. Could someone please help me? I spent nights reading topics over and over again but none of the cases are similar to mine. Tried to find the JOpson one, with no luck. I think I might not be able to write a defense :(

    Jopson is the last case on the list.
