    Can the PoC be signed "QDR Solicitors Ltd"? I thought that an individual authorised by the claimants solicitors has to sign a statement of truth.
    Hmmm, good point:

    https://www.cilex.org.uk/membership/practice_advice/faq_definitions/signing_a_statement_of_truth/

    "Certain documents in civil proceedings must be verified by the signing of a statement of truth. Paragraph 3 of Practice Direction 22 of the Civil Procedure Rules (‘CPR’) sets out who may sign the statement of truth and how. It may be signed by the legal representative, who must state the capacity in which he or she signs and give the name of his or her firm, but must sign in his or her own name and not that of the firm."


    3.9. A legal representative who signs a statement of truth must sign in their own name and not that of their firm or employer.

    So as well as the above issue (having seen no service of detailed POC yet) QDR are:

    - not particularising ANYTHING about the parking charges;

    - specifying no locations, dates, terms nor even how many PCNs or heads of cost;

    ...although a 'contract' is mentioned, they go on to say that this is a claim for DAMAGES (!):



    Methinks QDR are perhaps a tad rusty!

    Ah, I see it's QDR which is rarer these days.  We'd expect the hearing to go ahead.

    Did you remember to include the above point in your WS?

    Did you get the WS and evidence done?

    Did you get theirs?


    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    My apologies for not updating earlier, family issues, I received this letter from the courts After the date that the solicitors were instructed to pay for the hearing but before the date I was instructed to provide my witness statement. It appears the court has struck off the claim and I wasn't required to submit my witness statement.

    Additionally I did not receive any further information from the claimant QDR.

    Thank you so much for your help over these months It's been a terribly emotional ride for my wife and has affected her health and wellbeing at times. I fought this on her behalf with a conviction of doing the right thing and seeing that justice prevailed. It's absolutely scandalous that these companies have such an uncaring attitude and zero moral compass and can exert such pressure on individuals, not to mention the workload placed on the court system. They kept the pressure on us, with dozens of threatening communications, for almost 3 years. I understand that even Martin has petitioned for legislative review but you cannot legislate against the greed and pernicious blackness in people's hearts.
