    I have had an email relating to the case that was allocated to the Small Claims Court - states that "the client has instructed DCB Legal LTD to discontinue Court proceedings and close our file."

    They were asked to file and serve Particulars of Claim supported by a statement of truth for the other case - which they did.

    So according to the letter I received, I now have to submit a defence by the 5th September. Unfortunately I don't really have much to offer in the way of a photographic defence as I no longer have the picture of the car with the temporary pass on the dashboard. However the way the photos were taken by the attendant, it doesn't show that there wasn't one on the top of the dash. Hopefully the judge will see that as a positive in my favour. I'll have look at the forum for help with the defence - although there's so much to try and get through using the search facility, I may well be back for some tips and advice soon ;-)

    Thanks to everyone who's helped me so far.
    Do you mean submit a Witness Statement + Evidence? Or is the photo in the previous reply the defence you filed for the now-discontinued claim?

    I’m going off what the General Form of Judgement or Order sent on 10/7/22 says on the second page

    OK - if they've filed compliant particulars (have they? are what you've shown before the revised particulars) then you have the opportunity to file and serve an amended Defence - you can use the template defence in this board as your starting point.

    Thanks for the help. 

    I have posted drafts of Amended Defence paragraphs 3 & 4 - bottom of page 6 of this thread. 

    The three pages above that are the ones they submitted after the court ordered them to do so on 10/7/22

    What did your original defence look like? Do you need to change it? What's changed about the Particulars?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Basically I’ve added the pictures held and sent by UKPC. 
    Other than that it’s just the last sentence referring to the newly included photos.
