Parking fine claim county court business centre

ZR18

Hi All, I received this letter today from the courts, as I’m not interested in mediation, is there anything I need to note from the first page ? 

The second page states the hearing date which is set for April 2024, please kindly advise what I should do from here, I’m drawn to directions 6,7&8, I need your help and expertise please 🙏

The only thing you need to remember is to submit your WS bundle no later than 14 days before the hearing date. It is pretty straight forward what directions 6, 7 & 8 are. Why do you think you need extra advice about what they order?

You have 8 months to perfect your WS.

Do stick around though...

IMPORTANT:

DO COME BACK HERE IN AUGUST!

We need you to do the Government's upcoming final PUBLIC CONSULTATION on the level of parking charges.

You owe it to yourself. We'll be all over it here!

Thanks B789, 
I’ll start on WS also when ready closer to hearing, should I be posting or is it acceptable to just email to the claimant and the court? civil.romford.countycourt@justice.gov.uk

Sending by e-mail is perfect, as you will have a record and you can send it to the court and the claimant in the same e-mail which will mean that if the claimant states they "haven't received the defendant's witness statement" you can prove you sent it to both parties and if the court received it, then the chances are that the claimant did!

Thanks Le_Kirk

Hi All, my court date is in about a month and I’m currently working on WS. I have received an email from the claimants solicitor Gladstones asking whether I accept service of documents by email, please advise if I should accept.
many Thanks.

If you say NO and they send by post and they don't arrive (for whatever reason) you will not have a copy of the claimant's WS.  I would accept service by e-mail.

Thanks Le_Kirk, I’ll accept.
