    You can remove a lot of words from that end part by adapting the new one I wrote today, that covers the abuse of process stuff and appends three Orders/Judgments that MIGHT just stop your case going to a hearing if your Judge agrees to strike the claim out.

    Look at the template defence thread I started (NO LINK, I never give links to threads that are right here in everyone's face today!) and download the template and change the red bits to suit.

    This is brand new today.  Be the first tester!

    Test out the new defence template written and posted by Coupon-mad yesterday: -
    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6108153/suggested-template-defence-to-adapt-for-all-parking-charge-cases-where-they-add-false-admin-costs
    All the information, including instructions are in that post.
  • @Le_Kirk Thanks, do I need to copy all of these defence to put it on my defence?
    Do I need to replace from this "The Defendant denies that the Claimant is entitled to relief in the sum claimed, or at all." to this?

    "The Defendant denies that the Claimant is entitled to relief in the sum claimed, or at all. It is denied that the driver of the vehicle entered into any contractual agreement, whether express, implied, or by conduct, to pay a ‘parking charge’ to the Claimant."

    If so, I will replace it or add it then i will post my update defence.

    Only change the red bits...isn't that clear?  Use my template, not your draft.

    Not really, because I need a bit more information. Do I have to forget my draft and use your template then change the red bits or what?

    Please can you be quick as I need to response or else i will get CCJ because of you and others are too slow to help me out so I want to get it done by tonight and send it to court tomorrow.

    Filing your Defence by email is almost instant. You do not have to send it tomorrow.

    And accusing people of being 'too slow' is perhaps not the best way of encouraging others to help you.

    Thank you as you have make me feel a little bit less worry.
    I am sorry for accusing people of being too slow but I am getting anxiety because I dont want to leave it to the last minutes and get a courty court judgement against my name. I hope you will understand that why I want to get it done as soon as possible to put my mind at rest.
