At this point you write to (email) the court/judge and request a consideration of costs. But without a counterclaim in place you should expect that this is game over (a game which you've "won").

is there any templates for the consideration of cost for me to amend and send to the court please?

I am sure you could put together a letter that specifies you would like your costs paid (and here is my summary costs assessments) due to the PPC pursuing me through the court, using debt collectors to harass me and then discontinuing at short notice.  I would like the judge to consider payment due to the unreasonable behaviour of the claimant as they quite clearly knew there was no real case, else why would they discontinue at this late stage.

this sound like a plan, because they obviously knew she wasn't the driver from the beginning. can I send the letter to the court via email?

E-mail to courts these days is fine.

We would hope that you have already submitted your summary costs assessment with the WS ?

If yes , you are asking the court ( by email ) to consider awarding those costs ( or some of them )

If you don't ask , you don't get !!

They can only agree , or say no

Shame that there was no counter claim 😭😭😭

Well done on your win ! NCP and their lawyers B W Legal lose again !

Another one bites the dust !!

Coupon-mad

WELL DONE ON YOUR WIN!  

This is already covered by the part of the NEWBIES thread about costs where an example by @bluetoffee1878 has been there for years.

Also a more recent example:

Residential PCN (initially lost at POPLA, of course)

Premier Park Ltd ordered to pay £500 in costs for unreasonable late discontinuance at Southampton County Court (includes all orders and judgment transcript following his application for a costs hearing:  Premier Park v S Jones):

The letter to the Judge asking for costs is interesting; it was treated as an 'application' by the Court:

The OP said:

"The 05 Witness Statement is interesting and quotes a post from this forum. The statement by Mr Byers-Nolan was riddled with errors and inconsistencies, ignored the main points of the case and was delivered so late that the Judge ignored it. As he did with my skeleton argument…
 
You might think I would be steaming with anger with PP, BW Legal, DRP, Gladstones, CST Law, Zenith Collections et al, but no. If POPLA are going to boast on their website that they take “into consideration the relevant law, guidance and standards and the BPA Code of Practice.” they should do exactly that. Don’t employ someone with experience of “conflict resolution” and “problem solving” to decide on points of law. How about employing someone with a legal background to decide on legal matters? The new Government CoP will hopefully remove POPLA from the equation.

And finally, for the Premier Park Ltd and BW Legal employees who lurk on this forum: we still have a BIG problem with the other 24 PCNs you plastered my vehicles with, don’t we?"

Help pls, I don't  know what is going on, we sent an email to the court requesting for court cost as th claimant withdrawn last minute, only for us to get a letter today again saying that d case would be held in January via video call. Please what's going on?

We can't see your letter so can't advise - what exactly does it say? Does it have the exact same claim reference? Or is this your hearing to rule on costs?

Eminowa

So we just called the court now, and we were told It was bcos we are claiming for cost.
 Do we have to pay a hearing fees? Bcos we forgot to ask the court just now.
