    No, you dont fill in the form. At all. You follow POST TWO of the NEWBIES THREAD exactly, and acknowledge online. You will do nothing with the form at all.

    Not really. but you need to be clear when writing your defence that you are not the Keeper OR the RK. Meaning they have no claim against you.

    Ok so yesterday I receieved a claim form from County Court Business Centre...

    Who was that claim form addressed to? You or your wife?

    It is the addressee that is the defendant and the one who must defend the claim.

    Hi Keith

    It is addresses to me, as on the initial contact I said that I was the registered keeper.

    I'm more than happy to go through it in my name, but then had a horrible thought that it may bite me in the !!! as it is her company car.

    Although given the OP's first post, I wouldn't be so sure:)

    Yeah that's what I've thought. I can't say I'm not the RK when I already have said I was

    Well you have to state you are not the RK, because if its a company car I bet your wife isnt even the RK, but the lease company that owns the vehicle. You cannot lie to the court.

    WHat you can do is instead correct to state that yuo are neither the keepe rnor the RK, so they dont have a claim against you.

    Actually I was more worried about them working out who the driver was.

    Hmmm, this is difficult, and 100% should have been appealed by the hirer/lessee, your wife.

    But as your post has been on the forum for 3 months saying who the driver was, and you appealed instead of your wife (who would have had no liability in law, as hirer/lessee who wasn't driving - OUCH that was a big mistake) I would actually defend as driver now.

    See the NEWBIES thread and show us your draft based on another Gladstones defence, your main point will be about the unclear signs (if it was dark, were they unlit?).

    Did you get the AOS done online now and made sure you did NOT start filling in the defence yet by mistake?

    I will do the online response this weekend and won’t touch the form as per the newbie thread.

    Could it not be the case that my father, for instance was the driver. And I am responding on behalf of my wife?
