SIP don't own the car park/area.

Just put your own facts in as points 2 and 3 including if you were the driver, of course, and what happened.  It really isn't difficult.  The template is easy for you to add your facts to.

Thank you @Redx

I am glad I do not have to think up and right out the full thing on my own.


here is what I have so far. thank you for any feedback.

2.    It is admitted that the Defendant was the registered keeper of the vehicle in question but liability is denied. 

[The defendant dose not remember the dates in question. I did see in another defence that they put down something along the lines of it being an "unremarkable day X months ago". Is this fine to do, as the defendant has used the car park in the past]

3.   To enter the XXXX street car park, individuals must drive by 2 Euro car parks parking lots that span the length of the entrance road and to ether side. Each of the Euro car parks lots have their own signs with small unreadable text. At the entrance of XXX street car park there is a large banner(Left side), with company name on it and a smaller sign with small writing with pricing. These signs are placed on the opposite side of the entrance gate to the sign with terms and conditions on. This sign has again small font and is unreadable from a car.

6. The facts are that the vehicle, registration XXXXXX, of which the Defendant is the registered keeper, was parked in XXXXXX could have been used on the material date by a third party driver (family member or friend allowed to driver this car).

Make 6 into 3

Make 3 into 4

Add that extra driver is unknown on an unremarkable day blah blah into 2 as an extra sentence ( not paragraph )

is this fine? last edits suggested before I follow this process:

When you are happy with the content, your Defence could be filed via email as suggested here:

Print your Defence.
1. Sign it and date it.
   
2. Scan the signed document back in and save it as a pdf.
   
3. Send that pdf as an email attachment to CCBCAQ@Justice.gov.uk
   
4. Just put the claim number and the word Defence in the email title, and in the body of the email something like 'Please find my Defence attached'.
   
5. Log into MCOL after a few days to see if the Claim is marked "defence received". If not chase the CCBC until it is.
   
6. Do not be surprised to receive an early copy of the Claimant's Directions Questionnaire, they are just trying to keep you under pressure.
   
7. Wait for your DQ from the CCBC, or download one from the internet, and then re-read post #2 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread to find out exactly what to do with it.

Update 

A letter was received from the Claimant and copy of their directions questionnaire - Let me know if you want more info or what I should keep an eye one.  

Will be filling in the DQ and sending by email to both Claimant and CCBCAQ. 

Redx

My advice , file the DQ by the claimant , untouched , do not fill it in or email it

Download the n180 from MCOL and fill it in and email it to the claimant and to the ccbcaq email address , using cc for the second address

Defendant received a 2nd letter with a DQ / n180 and a E730 (mediation info). Was that not from the court?

That second letter clearly was from the Court. Didn't the letter say so?
