Help with N180 and choosing court

CarMadness30

Thank you to everyone that contributed all the excellent information on this forum. It has helped me immensely.

Parking Incident in 2020 from Total Parking Solution Ltd.

I need help choosing my court on my N180, the Government site keeps giving me Birmingham City Centre.
I am a new driver and have never driven into the City.

Are there any suitable Courts closer to Sutton Coldfield?
I have tried entering a Sutton Coldfield postcode. But it keeps giving me Birmingham City Centre.

My passenger is Disabled and maybe a witness. Access maybe an issue if we need to attend in person.
I may need assistance later are this.

Sorry if this needs editing, dinner is done.

Stick your postcode into www.gov.uk/find-court-tribunal to find your nearest county court.

What about Walsall County Court or Dudley County Court?

Chances are that whichever civil County court is chosen , that it will be a telephone hearing or video hearin , not in person

Thank you, Walsall sounds a lot better. But hopefully I won't have to go there either.

My passenger at the time had a blue badge. Part of my defence is that the blue badge bay sign differs from other signs in the carpark.

Will I need to have that person with me or can they do a written statement?
I am confused about this part.

Also do I have to give my phone details on the N180?
I would prefer not to give it to the parking company.

The named Defendant must attend any hearing.
If there are other Witness Statements, then those statements will carry more weight if those witnesses also attend.

Is it best to do the N180 online or paperwork? 

Is it still correct to send a copy to the Parking company or their solicitor?
Which one do I send it to?

Thank you for your help.

P.S. What about the phone numbers on N180?

KeithP

Those questions are easily answered by re-reading the first post on the Template Defence thread.

Did you use that guidance when preparing your Defence?

Your County Court Claim Form has a box on it telling you where to send documents for the Claimant.

Just double checking, to make sure I've read the right posts and not the old ones.

Yes regards the defence, I found several templates yourself and others recommended.
I mixed and matched the information from several threads to suit my situation.

Thank you for you patience

Might be best to post your defence here so we know exactly what you've said, please.

Email the N180 to the ccbcaq email address and copy in the lawyers if being used ( so not the claimant )

Phone numbers go to your local court in several months time , as does the witness statements and exhibits etc

Your passenger should provide you with their WS a d can attend the conference call , be it by phone or by video link ( or in court if it was an in person hearing )

Sorry but in a panic.  Packing witness statement and evidence etc. 

Just want to make sure I am posting this to the Court and BW legal and no copy needed to Total Parking Solutions Limited.

Big Thank You To Everyone
