BW Legal for VCS county court claim

Djdamo

Ive seen the form, I'm unable to determine if it replaces the directions questionnaire or is a well as?

As far as I can see there's information required on the N159 form that at present I don't have. t seems as though this would get sent out after the request for a paper hearing has been made?

The Directions Questionnaire and the Notice of Allocation are two separate parts of the process.
One follows after the other.

All this is explained in detail in Bargepole's walkthrough linked from post #2 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread.

So how can I request for the case to be heard on papers, it's the question I asked a few posts back and was told it's via the N159.

And whoever told you that was right.

Have another look at the N159 form.

There only three tick boxes on it - A, B and C.

That part of the form looks like this:

Please post again if you cannot work out which boxes to tick.

On my phone it's a 1 page document. There are no boxes to tick. I'll check on my laptop, I'm assuming from your picture there's more than the 1 page I can see on my phone.

Your phone simply isn't up to the job.

Like most pieces of paper it has two sides.

It would certainly seem so. Thanks for hanging in there.

So it's a 2 page document and I can see the tick boxes, and I'm ok with which one to tick !!!55357;!!!56841;

If I fully understand, which is doubtful at this rate, the court will either send a N157 (hearing) or a N159 (no hearing) depending on what the judge has decided. If a N157 is sent the keeper can write to the court stating they have decided not to attend.

Djdamo

Can anyone confirm if I have the correct understanding of the N157 and N159 forms please?

Finally received the information from submitting the SAR. As expected there's no photos just copies of the letters received, a copy of the original ticket with "parked in a restricted area of car park" as the reason for issue and more importantly I feel, a copy of the original appeal made with notes regarding the case. One note clearly shows a conversation with the staff member who issued the ticket and him stating the vehicle was parked on the road as the driver has claimed.

I've not heard anything else since sending the directions questionnaire.

With no proof to their claim, how do they expect to win in court?

Bluff and bluster
Its a numbers game
They only have to win about 1/3rd of claims to turn a profit, if they discotninue claims that are looking well defended.
