Hi,

I cannot see any section that you are referring to.

I have checked all posts that are referenced (around 3-4 threads/posts) and they all say to return the form. None mention whether via mail or email.

That simply isn't true.

Go back to that checklist you were following when you filed your Defence.

Item 6 on that list says...

6.  After filing your Defence, there is more to do.

Items 7, 8, 9 and 10 on that list fully answer your current questions.

Hi Keith,

I have checked the following threads and cannot find any mention of the above:

Can you please clarify where this is mentioned? All information I can find says that the form needs to be returned to Nottingham with no mention whether elctronic or physical copy.

Thanks.

Thanks. 

It is Northampton if you are referring to the CCBC and, following through the links to the defence template, you will find: -

9.The completed DQ should be returned by email to the CCBC to the same address and in the same way as your Defence was filed earlier.

It's in the first post of the Template Defence thread.

Thanks all.

Update. 

Letter received and claim allocated for hearing in September. Need to submit WS by 8th August. 

Am I right in saying that the best course of action is to state the signs were unreadable due to the construction works? I cannot remember if my exit was blocked due to the works (however I am sure it was), but could be contempt if not?

Best course of action is to construct a witness statement that backs up and supports your defence as already filed.  There are some recent WSs that you can refer to as examples for style and format but the content must be adjusted to suit your circumstances.  @wobs2k @aphex007 @ricky_balboa @Nosy have recently been cited.

Thank you for this. I am beginning work on the WS.

I have done some digging and actually found some further info. I found the original appeal I sent to the parking company with photographs of the car park being blocked, explaining that I was unable to leave at the time. I have also found their response acknowledging my appeal and stating that if I can prove I was using the shops/gym then they will consider my appeal. I had no proof of attending the gym so couldn't prove I was using it so I don't think I responded. 

Now, my gym actually has online records for the past 12 months which shows I have used that particular gym a few times over the past year. 

I have 2 questions with regard to the above:

- I cannot recall whether I was actually blocked in the car park (I think I was as my photos show), however I am concerned that the other party may have proof that I wasn't. 6 years is a long time ago! If this is the case, can I be prosecuted for perjury? I did a SAR request and they haven't sent any photos or CCTV footage of me in the car park. They also stated they no longer have a copy of my appeal - "Please note that we are unable to provide your initial postal appeal, as we no longer hold a copy of it.". Also, my SAR request only specified photographs, not CCTV footage.  

- Should I include proof of me using this gym over the past 12 months as it proves that I do use it and may help strengthen my case with regard to their appeal response. 

Thanks for any help. 

Edit: the original plan was to focus on the signs not being visible due to the construction works (which is what my defence mentions), however I am wondering if it is worthwhile mentionign the above - as long as it doesn't get me in trouble if the other party have counter evidence.
