Hello, I've have sent my defence of some time ago to defend my PCN. Recently I've received the parking companies witness statement. This has confused me as I have not yet received a Notice of Allocation? Now I am worried I have missed my Notice of Allocation. Is there anyway to check if the courts have sent it to me and I've missed it? like an online register? I've not received an email either.

    Why not check with the hearing court?
    Pick up the phone and ring them.

    The front page states that is the companies witness statement and it has been filed with my county court

    You will have to call again and stay on the phone. There must be a hearing letter you've missed. It would have been posted.

    Did the claim go to your correct address?  The local court will use the address on the claim.

    Apologies, it seems you are correct,  It turns out I missed the notice of allocation letter and have now missed the window to submit my witness statement.
    What are my options now? can I appeal for them to accept my late witness statement?
    Also they've mentioned it will be a telephone hearing. Is this normal?

    Obviously this!

    Don't ask for permission and don't apologise.

    Just DO IT THIS WEEKEND.

    The NEWBIES thread gives an example to copy and adapt, including some exhibits to attach.

    Telephone hearings are normal.  You also have to email the court your phone number (separately) as per the Order.

    Thank you, I have submitted my witness statement using the template and I will keep you all updated. It looks likely it will have its day in court, hopefully the judge rules it fairly.

    The Claimant is SIP Parking LTD, and from what I can tell they are not using a solicitor, but their own employees
