Every regular keeps their inbox full, otherwise we are bombarded by posters who want (and often demand) personal attention for their case.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

I put in a costs estimate of about £300. it took me longer than 10 hours to do though.
DEFENDANT'S SCHEDULE OF COSTS
(a) Ordinary Costs
Loss of earnings/leave, incurred through attendance at Court 02/01/2020 - £95.00
Return mileage from home address to Court (3 miles at £0.45p) - £1.35
Parking near Court - £5.00
Sub-total - £101.35
==================
(b) Further costs for Claimant's unreasonable behaviour, pursuant to Civil Procedure Rule 27.14(2)(g)
There is no reasonable justification or lawful explanation for the Claimant's conduct, which constitutes unwarranted harassment; such conduct to be explained at the hearing.
The following additional costs are sought on the indemnity basis for the Claimant's unreasonable conduct.
The Defendant avers that such costs must apply, given the facts, primarily in order to compensate for the time taken in handling this meritless and wholly vexatiously pleaded court claim, and secondly to send a message to this legally-represented serial litigant that their conduct in the instant case is an abuse of process:
Research, preparation and drafting of documents (10 hours at Litigant in Person rate of £19 per hour) - £190.00
Stationery, printing, photocopying and postage: £15.00
Sub-total - £205.00
==================
(a) + (b) = £ 306.35 TOTAL COSTS CLAIMED0 -
changed part 13 slightly is this ok
13. Upon entering the reception area there was a lack of prominence and transparency and no signs to remind a visitor or direct them to input their registration into a keypad/terminal. The Defendant was never made aware of any new parking restrictions by the Hotel staff and nor were they made aware that (as I have found out too late) apparently there is a non-prominent system to input vehicle registration numbers (VRNs) into a hidden hotel lobby terminal.0 -
An observation:-
The name of the claimant is clearly stated on the Court docs in front of you - it could well be that if the Judge has to use "Balance of Probabilities" to decide the case perhaps s/he will think that if you cannot put the claimant's name correctly on the D may be the keypad etc were clear but you ignored them.
Just my take on the situation - you did actually use the correct form of the claimant's name in a previous draft D many posts ago.0 -

Sorry I am being a bit thick, I don't quite understand, can you elaborate.
Are you suggesting I omit the name 'Claimant' and replace it with the actual parking company name?0 -
Shall I just post it now?0

There is no space between ParkingEye is all I was getting at - assuming that is how the Court docs state the claimant's name.0
