neither can we , which is why we have volunteered here for many years since we first found out the same thing

until the government make the changes , nothing will change

but your case isnt about parking , its about court procedures for the small claims court , parking contracts are just a small aspect of it , its what caused this to go to court , court is the sledgehammer trying to crack the nut

Lets just hope its cracking their nuts and not mine

UPDATE:
I asked for the court to be my local one and it was transferred. 
I then got a letter stating that a hearing by the district judge occurred on 5th April. It was ordered that:

1. Further case management is reserved to District Judge.
2. The judge proposes to dispose of the claim without a hearing, that is, on the papers alone..........................
3. The judge can only deal with the case in this way if both parties agree.
4. ......................
5. .........................

An N159 is requested. I awaited BWLEGALs response and they have sent me a copy stating they do not agree to the claim being dealt with on papers alone.
I'm filing mine today within the 3 weeks period
QUESTION: When will I be required to submit my full defence?

You already have submitted your full defence.

When the Court lists a date for the hearing of the case, it will also direct that both sides must file and serve their Witness Statements and all documents / evidence relied upon, by a date in advance of the hearing, usually 14 days before.

That is what you should be focusing on.

Sorry yes, that's what I meant. So I will be asked for that then in a further letter I presume?
I'm looking for information on how to respond to this N159 form. I presume its covid19 specific?

Also, I forgot to add that BW legal sent me a letter for a reduced settlement figure but its was still £180 😣

The instructions will be in the Notice of Allocation which the Court will send you at a later date.

Form N159 is not Covid-19 specific at all. You just tick box B, saying that you do not agree to a hearing on the papers.

Oh ok, thanks. It's just with it mentioning the remote options of email, phone and video that made me think it was covid19 specific.
Thanks for your help again

Please could you read, in full, the TELEPHONE HEARINGS thread because you should be attacking this much more robustly.    You don't want it heard on the papers and ideally you want the Judge to strike the claim out (or the Claimant to discontinue) and not even have a phone hearing!

That thread makes it clear that a hearing 'on the papers' is to be rejected, and a covering email and Draft Order to send to the Judge to get them to consider their duty under the CRA s71, and possibly strike the claim out.  The latest suggested wording is in post #10 of that thread but read it all!

It's just with it mentioning the remote options of email, phone and video that made me think it was covid19 specific.

You need to head off that prospect if you can.

Exact info is in the TELEPHONE HEARINGS thread.  Do what it tells you!

I love the way C-M is barking instructions at recalcitrant posters on almost every thread, like a stern headmistress.

Getting them all to do as they're told must be like herding cats.

You mean like the headmistress from the belles of st trinians with Alistair Sims ?

It's just my style here, bargepole - I do what works for the forum. 
Same as you really, when you lecture & herd your cats (customers)!

You and others who know me (I hope) are well aware I'm not an old bag in real life.  My friends think I am so laid back I am practically falling over and are surprised that I rock up at court cases like I do.
