How is your Defence coming along?

...you have until 4pm on Wednesday 15th September 2021 to file your Defence.
That's over four weeks away. Plenty of time to produce a Defence, but please don't leave it to the last minute.

 As I said then "That's over four weeks away".

Over three of those weeks have simply vanished.

You now have less than one week to produce and file a Defence.

Same advice about the US dates as I gave earlier today to someone.  Read today’s threads or my replies.

____________________

DEFENCE

____________________

1.       The Defendant denies that the Claimant is entitled to relief in the sum claimed, or at all.  It is denied that a contract was entered into - by conduct or otherwise - whereby it was ‘agreed’ to pay a ‘parking charge’ and it is denied that this Claimant (understood to have a bare licence as managers) has standing to sue, nor to form contracts in their own name at the location.

 

The facts as known to the Defendant:

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

3.       The Defendant was parked in Lower Loveday Street car park, Birmingham. At the time this was a 24 hour car park with a £3.00 per 24 hour tariff. The Defendant entered the car park to renew a Pay and Display Ticket due to expire. The Defendant went to the Pay and Display Ticket machine prior to the expiry of the existing Pay and Display Ticket and inserted £3.00 in coins into the machine. After entering the coins and pressing the button no ticket was dispensed from the Pay and Display Machine. The Defendant proceeded to spend several minutes reading the car park signage, which contained a large amount of text of varying size and font, to seek a helpline number. The Defendant then proceeded to call the helpline number to report a fault with the machine. The Defendant was told the fault had been logged and to continue to park. The Defendant was dubious but trusted this had been logged. The Defendant did pay for their stay, however a fault with the Pay and Display Machine meant no ticket was dispensed.

You haven’t gone and found the other one about the US dates.  I did tell you “same advice”. 

You only need to read my replies from yesterday to find it. (No idea which username or case it was).

I can understand the poster's predicament though - C-m has probably made >100 replies in that period.

It's yesterday morning about 11 am , so the op only needs to search yesterday's replies , took me 5 minutes or less 😋😋😋 , but yes , you are right. 👍👍

It’s searchable in my replies and I don’t think I made anything like 100 yesterday!
