No return within 90 minutes PCN

From what the order states, you are being given a F2F hearing but not until after November 2nd.  Isn't that what you want?  The "on papers" will only be considered if both partied agree, contact the court and PAY a fee.  Not what you want!!!

Yes ,  I stated to the court not on papers or phone.
I just wondered why I had been sent another Form and also why I hadnt heard anything from Gladstones after the first General Form, dont they have to send me a copy of their response to the General Form 
So do I now  do nothing and wait for a date for the f2f  or reply again to this new Form stating yet again I dont want on the papers or phone ?  Thanks

It seems quite clear to me.
It says:

If you wish the court to consider dealing with the matter on paper and without attendance at a hearing , you should notify the Court in writing and send a copy of your letter to all other parties within 14 days of receipt of this Order.

In other words, if you don't wish the court to consider dealing with the matter on paper and without attendance at a hearing, you don't need to do that.

Everything that any party sends to the court (file) should sent to the other side (serve).  Maybe they didn't reply to the court!
As @KeithP states: -
1.  Do nothing - get a F2F in November.
2.  Write to the court (with FEE) to get it heard on papers or telephone hearing.

It sure is ! 
Many hours reading , research and complaining have paid off and am glad to see the back of it.  ' No return within'  is a ridiculous charge and pofa section 7 (3)  shows that . 
Details of the pcn and my findings  were forwarded to local mp a few months back and a letter was forwarded to ES asking for a response.
Obviously one was not received but the discontinuation will do nicely thanks .

Massive thanks for all help and guidance given.  I hope anything posted may help others in a similar situation.
Thank you.
