The notice of allocation also states that they had not paid the correct court fee of £27 or file a properly completed application.

Update: I called the court yesterday to inquire if the court fees or a properly completed application had been filed as they had until 4pm on the 7th to do it by.

As it was late they said they would get back to me today.

Received the below by email today

“Further to your telephone call yesterday 8 November 2023 regarding the above case,  I write to confirm that a Notice of Discontinuance was received from the Claimant’s Solicitors on 3 November 2023. 

Hearing of 05/12/2023 has been vacated.”

GAME OVER.

A massive thanks to everyone on here for the help and guidance.

Great news but absolutely shocking DCBL notified the court 6 days ago but have still not notified you.

Looks like it has been deleted, the newbies thread points me to this when i click it, it takes me to a thread with a dropbox link that comes up as deleted?

and LoadsofChildren123 wrote a longer version here, to reclaim costs after a discontinuance:

A discontinuance leaves costs open for you to claim, which you should do. Just write to the court with a costs schedule and ask it to make an order in your favour (you'll have to go into why they behaved unreasonably - this is a long winded version that I drafted, which you can perhaps adapt to argue why there should be a costs order. You must add to it that you were never "parked" and this is a claim that should never have been brought, or should have been withdrawn much earlier - had they followed the pre-action Practice Direction then these issues would have come to light much earlier and this is what makes this a compelling case to make a costs order.

I think leave in para 10.

Use the photos of the entrance sign, the next one (blue P) and the close up that shows the terms are too small to read.

I think they'll discontinue by Friday!

You were correct got the letter Friday
