Parking Fine and Claim Form from County Court Business Centre

Quidditch

Thanks for all the help on this.
Can I please check that other than the adaptations I have made for section 3, the rest of this template defiance applies to me?

Template defence to adapt for all parking cases where they add false admin costs - edited March 2022 — MoneySavingExpert Forum

My next step will be to email this to the "ccbaq" email address and await confirmation of this. I will aim to do this early next week so that I can take into account any further feedback I receive on this forum.

Once this is sent and the acknowledgement received, what tends to happen next and in what timeframe?

How to email the defence and what happens next is already spelt out in the first 12 steps in the first post of the Template Defence thread.

Then in the NEWBIES thread itself, there's a whole section headed in Red Capitals called IMPORTANT: KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN, which includes a link to an older thread by bargepole about court procedures, walking you through it all.

The resources exist to inform all new posters and to protect us and our time, so we don't get (in a hundred threads per day) 'what next?' and hopefully people don't feel the need to ask us - on thread after thread - about the standard DQ form.

See you at witness statement stage!

Watch out for typos, it is CCBCAQ@Justice.gov.uk.  If you read the Defence Template thread it tells you all about the 12-step process.

My scanner only generates documents in a .tiff format (not PDF). As far as I know, this is a universally supported file type. Presumably, the courts will let me know if there are any issues with accessing the file?

I was planning to send the email today and would appreciate your advice.

You can convert tiff to PDF in adobe, and various utilities online

Thanks. Converted to PDF.
I have put "Defence" and Claim number in subject of email. The body of the email just refers to the attachment and requests confirmation of receipt.   

Anything else that should feature in this email to ccbcaq@justice.gov.uk?

Thanks for your support.

UPDATE: Following the submission of my defense by email, I received an email acknowledgement instantly. I then received a letter from HM Courts and Tribunal Service a few days later. This also acknowledges the defence and advises that this has been served on the claimant. 

As I understand it, the claimant may now try to resolve the dispute with me or else, inform the court to proceed with the matter. The court will provide me with an update. 

I don't understand the following part:
After 28 days have elapsed, the claim will be stayed. The only action the claimant can then take will be to apply to a judge for an order lifting the stay.

I am not familiar with a "stay".

Google tells us...

It means that if the Claimant does not respond to the court within 28 days of having received your Defence then the case will not progress.

But they can then lift the stay after 28 days and continue the case - if I've understood correctly.
Does that mean that I could receive court orders at any point in the future? i.e. 12 months from now...

They have to pay a fee to lift the stay.
That's what "apply to a judge for an order lifting the stay" effectively means.

Yes, could be up to six years later.

But don't worry about any of that. The case won't be stayed because the Claimant will respond within the allowed timeframe - and even if they didn't the CCBC will write to them giving them another seven days to comply.
