Highview Parking claim via DCB Legal re Borehamwood Shopping Park

2

Comments

  • The only DCB Legal one that went to court was at Cardiff, as they are not doing hearings.  DCB got a free hit (of a case they would have discontinued...) courtesy of Cardiff court's clueless Judges.

    Or possibly a four figure multi-PCN one last year may have had a hearing.

    All others are discontinued every time.

    Admit to driving if you are more comfortable taking that stance.  You'll win anyway.
    Thanks.  This is the matter I’ve been watching and was referring to but yes, think it is a multi-PCN case

    But surely you have also seen the 300+ discontinuances of single PCN cases recorded diligently by @Umkomaas?

    That's what will happen to your case.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

  • Blimey!! That thread is reassuring 

    let’s hope I don’t have to waste much more time on this beyond the defence submission, but from a quick scan I can see some completed witness statements before receive notice of discontinuance….
  • Defence filed and acknowledgement received from HMCTS. 

    A few days later DCB Legal emailed me advising they intend to proceed and attaching a copy of their directions questionnaire that they’ve filed. So I wait to hear from the court requesting same from me ? Anyone know how long this might take? Thanks

    That checklist you were following when you filed a Defence suggests a couple of months.

    Might be worth another look at that checklist when your DQ arrives. 
  • Thanks - yes will do 
  • Quick update: I’ve received an email from DCB Legal asking me to call them ‘to discuss an offer to conclude the matter’. Ignore?

    Or laugh at them when they call you.
