DCBL - county court

Your witness statement should back up and support your defence.  As you have said in your defence that you cannot recall who was driving "on an unremarkable date NN months/years ago" your WS backs this up with evidence that other people (hopefully family members) were/are insured to drive the vehicle or can/could drive it on their own insurance where this permits.

Coupon-mad

And if you are using the one by @jrhys then the WS is never going to be short, because it talks about the added false costs and lack of landowner authority as well.  And even though you know nothing about the place, you MUST put the C to strict proof of the clarity of their signage as well (all of which is in @jrhys' version).

Morning, since my defence was submitted on 01/06 and AOS submitted (slightly late) on the 28/06 and received (29/06) nothing has been done by the claimant..I would think by now they should of submitted an N180?

Those dates look confused - your AOS comes first - 28/06 - your defence comes later (up to 2-3 weeks later) but you say that was submitted a month before your AOS. 

The claimant has 28 days after receipt of your defence to decide whether they want to proceed. Do you know the date the claimant received your defence?

Do you mean 01/07?  It is unusual to submit your defence nearly a month before completing the AoS.

Good, that states that you submitted the AoS in APRIL not JUNE, which a) makes more sense and b) means your defence was probably late - just.  You had better hope the claimant has not requested judgment by default.

Yes, sorry about that..clearly im not with it! Im just wondering, its been over a month now since the last update..at which point can I assume the claimant has decided to drop the claim?

The CCBC sent you a letter saying the Claimant had twenty eight days to consider your Defence.

What you don't know is when the CCBC sent a copy of your Defence to the Claimant. 

It follows from that that it is not known when the Claimant has to respond to the CCBC. 

Further, we don't know what delays there are in the CCBC that means they don't send you a DQ as promptly as you might like.

Can I suggest that you keep checking your MCOL Claim History and as soon as you see that the CCBC has sent a DQ to you, you are ready to download a DQ, complete it and fire it back to the CCBC, remembering to send a copy to the Claimant of course.
