Ccbc claim help needed for defence.

The second post of the NEWBIES thread explains the difference and offers guidance on creating a Witness Statement and gathering evidence.

But @Sasanova don't use the WS example by RobertCox linked there,  Read other 2022 threads and copy their WS bundle instead.

Thank you for the sound advice from you guys can the witness statement be emailed or does it have to be posted?

E-mail to the court is fine and also to the claimant's solicitors (if they are using one); hopefully you will have received something from them by e-mail so you know their e-mail address.

Email it to yourself as well. That way if the court received it and you received it, on the balance of probabilities the claimant's solicitor will have received it as well
It is not unknown for certain PPCs/solicitors to say that they did not receive these documents.

And when we say 'email the court' that is of course the local court, not Northampton CCBC.

Will you be posting here your redacted WS for comments?

C-m suggests using the following as examples:-

 "As seen in recent WS bundles, such as the ones by @aphex007 (and @laurenjo12 this week)."

Yes I will post it here first to see what you guys think before sending it off to court but I didn’t realise I have to send a copy to dcblegal as well not that it’s a big secret.

After filing a Defence, a copy of everything you send to the court must be sent to the Claimant (or their solicitor).

Does it say on your Notice of Allocation, the Notice that gives the hearing date...

Each party must deliver to every other party and to the court office copies of all documents on which he intends to rely at the hearing no later than [ . . . ] [14 days before the hearing].

Might be on the back.

Those documents you intend to rely on are your Witness Statement and evidence.

In your case 'every other party' means the Claimant's solicitor.

Hi guys just to let you wonderful guys know that on Saturday 27th I sent my response to dcblegal 2nd letter of claim which I put it on here, 
I deny all these claims robustly, you have ignored my point about estoppel. Now, it matters not whether the other cases are with your sister company or not. You are aware now you should have been anyway that these cases exist, and with one already being claimed , you should immediately cease and desist with the others.

You refer to BPA COP and again totally ignore my point that there has been a new entrance sign put up since these PCNs and the previous lack of an entrance sign is a direct breech of the COP. Further, the sudden arrival of this new sign is a de facto admission that the previous signage is inadequate.
 I have just received an email from dcblegal as follows,

We act for the Claimant in the above matter.  

 

Our client has instructed us to discontinue Court proceedings and close our file. Therefore, please find enclosed the Claimant’s N279 Notice of Discontinuance for your records.  

 

The attached has also been filed with the Court. 

 

We will now proceed to close our file accordingly. 

Kind Regards,

Guys I am still in a state of disbelief!!! I can’t believe this has come to an end after 4 years of hell, a part of me still thinks “are they gonna continue with the other two”? I keep reading the email over and over again.
 I want to thank each and everyone of you for providing such invaluable advice and support specially Coupon mad and Keith P, It would not have been possible, I give you all a virtual 🤗
