Minster Baywatch / Gladstones Unpaid Charge

Redx

Perhaps the POC were poor and objected to, meaning that maybe the claimant was directed to provide better poc details, allowing the defendant to post an amended defence if they so wish ?

KeithP

Could well be Redx.

Vjr7411 will know the reason but for some reason hasn't told us.

Vjr7411

I have no idea why they have sent this, as Im a total novice at this and have yet to hear anything back from anyone since returning the filled out quistionaire. I have attached the letter.

Redx

Read the last part again

You must comply with the judges wishes, which is either

Confirm that you are wanting to rely on the original defence , in writing

Or

File a new defence, in writing

Do one or the other in writing, to your court, asap

This isn't difficult

Le_Kirk

As suggested by Redx and KeithP it is likely that the court has required the claimant to (or the claimant has independently) file a new POC, since you allude to it/them in your defence point 8, in which case you are being given the opportunity to file an amended defence or to rely on one already filed. If you do decide to file an amended defence it must be exactly that - amended - by using the original defence and striking through in RED and deletions and adding in BLUE any additions/amendments.

Vjr7411

Should I tell them to use my original defence or would this be the opportunity to present new evidence including my own pictures of the signs being obstructed by cars etc?

I only ask because I was under the impression I would have chance to submit further evidence to support my claim, im just unsure if I do it now or at court?

Thanks for the reply its really appreciated.

Le_Kirk

Only you can know that as you have (I assume) received new POC. Use everything now that you want to be in your defence - the legal/technicalities of it - but leave evidence to the Witness Statement stage.

Vjr7411

No I have not received anything other than this letter since I returned the questionaire.

Redx

In that case study your defence and see if it can be improved

If it can, do the red and blue amendments and submit it

If not , send it again, unchanged, with a covering note stating that you still wish to use the original defence which you gave attached once more due to not receiving any amended POC

Think carefully about which would be better

Vjr7411

Should I be attaching my own images etc now or is this left until court?
