    You are meant to be reading the first post of the Template Defence thread (the 12 first steps).
    Yes I had the one by Bargepole instead. I have so many pieces of printed advice, I get muddled!

    I am not content for the case to be heard 'on the papers' because that seems to disproportionately give an advantage to a legally represented party. I feel strongly after all these years of intimidating demands from this aggressive parking firm and its agents, that I need a voice at an attended hearing.  
    I wish to question the Claimant about their evidence at a hearing in person and to expose omissions and any misleading or incorrect evidence or assertions. 
    Given the Claimant is a firm who complete cut & paste parking case paperwork for a living, having this case heard solely on papers would appear to put the Claimant at an unfair advantage, especially as they would no doubt prefer the Defendant not to have the opportunity to expose the issues in the Claimants template submissions or speak as the only true witness to events in question.
    You will have to download the form and use a text box overlay for D1 and then paste the above test into that text box. I found Arial 9pt to fit perfectly.
    But you won't be sending that N180 yet will you OP? ;)

    Today I had DBC calling offering me an out of court settlement at a reduced price. 
    Met with a sarcastic "No thank you but have a super nice day"

    I think @Le_Kirk was asking if it was DCB Legal vs DCB Limited
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Hi all - Update on this, today I receive a NOTICE OF TRANSFER OF PROCEEDINGS letter. 

    Absolutely s@@ting myself that I am off to court! I have 8 of these tickets outstanding and hoped my defence would be ok for all of them (basically no requirement to show residence permit mentioned in my tenancy agreement)
    So worried now :(
    Cant afford these stupid cowboys parking fees :(
