LBC BW Legal/Britannia Parking

This is the N180 from the court.

That's fine, you're safe to use that one

(If it had been the other, that would be BW trying to pressure & trap you.)

can you elaborate on that?
i had a quick search on the N159 so i could see how it was different.

re the n180 should i be willing to use the mediation service or is the advice to not use that? i assume that is just another step before a hearing if we dont agree to an arrangement.

Have you read the very specific advice about the mediation service in the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, post #2?

Please re-read point 8 on the list in post #42 above.

So frustrating i feel like i read the newbies page carefully enough before i asked that question! Pretty sure i even did a 'find' on questionnaire. Sorry.

Any chance someone could add 'N180' to that section?

Also could someone explain about the N159 please?

Why not post that on a forum which deals with legal matters? They will give you a much more in-depth explanation than a basic private parking forum.

Try Legal Beagles, many more legal experts will hang out there than here.

What will happen if the judge wants to deal with my claim without a hearing?

The court will send you and the defendant a Form N159 (notice of allocation to the small claims track (no hearing)). The notice will tell you that the judge thinks that your claim can be dealt with without a hearing using only written evidence. The notice will ask you to tell the court if you object and will give you a date by which you and the defendant must reply. If one, or both, of you objects, your claim will be dealt with at a hearing. If you do not reply by the date given, the judge may treat your lack of reply as consent.

I dont think i need to seek indepth legal advice to seek a clarification to a comment like the above, if someone is going to say something that open ended it seems fair enough to ask them to explain what they mean.

Read the KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN section of the NEWBIES thread, which leads to a post by bargepole about COURT PROCEDURES.
