Court Claim Received Please Help

Include it, then expand on it in the WS later on, because it makes them look shady and not above breaking planning laws for their own greed, so they aren't squeaky clean

For starters, you do not owe £500 odd for 2 tickets.

So, you are saying that they have no permission to farm the car park for money. That would be fraud
A Judge would be very interested to hear this.

Assume the claim came from BWLegal ?
Assume they added a fake £60 per ticket

Abuse of Process ... District Judge tells BWLegal

Thank you for the responses. I have read the Abuse of process thread and I was planning to use the additional paragraphs in my Defence.





Yes it is BW Legal and yes they have added £120 contractual costs. Also interest at 8% over 4 years, legal representative costs of £50 and court fee of £35. This makes a total of around £500 for a total of around 30 mins of parking (over 2 PCN’s).





I think I will mention the lack of Planning in the defence and expand on it in the WS. I will have to come up with some wording for this. I understand that permission was given to Premier Park by the landowner but not the Council.





I am hoping to get a letter from the Planning Authority confirming lack of Planning Permission. Will this be attached to the WS or is there a better time to bring it out?

Please could you take a look at my Defence statement. I would appreciate any comments as I am running out of time. I hope to submit it tomorrow.


Thank you

Hello I just wondereed if anyone could have a quick look at my defence Statement I need to get in ASAP.
Thank you

SeaCastle

Any advice on the Defence Statement I am on my last day.

It worries me when I see the two words Defence Statement

One , because it should not have the word Statement , just Defence

Two , because it means an old defence was used as the template and so may be out of date , incorrectly worded and information in it that has nothing to do with the defendant or their case

Proof read it , remove that word at the start , make sure it has addressed the POC , ensure that it questions landowner authority and poor signage etc , plus add abuse of process paragraphs if the claimant has added spurious charges, which most do

It is definitely not numbered correctly , with some numbers duplicated and some numbers missing completely

Thanks for the comments. I have amended it and sent my defence via e-mail, as advised.
I have removed my post so as not to mislead anyone else regarding defence 'statement'.

SeaCastle

Just to be certain. I presume there is no need to fill in the MCOL defence form now that I have e-mailed the defence as a PDF????
I have just included the 'statement' no other paperwork or forms filled in.

All they want is a signed and dated defence document, which you have emailed as an attachment

Nothing else is required and nothing needs to be sent by post either

When the DQ arrives from the CCBC in Northampton , fill it in and sign it , email to the CCBC same as the defence was sent

Post your final draft defence below , in case it's needed to help you in the future

No personal info though , so redact the personal details , VRM and reference etc
