Help needed with Claim form defence for Gladstone/UKPCM, parking charge in residential parking

Coupon-mad

That's a defence and is also too long.

A witness statement is your story, written in the first person, so no use of 'The Defendant'.

Re case law and for recent good wording to plagiarise, search the forum for:

Jopson Homeguard Duchess Bedford

Hi has anyone got this letter. I had previously emailed my directions questionnaire as advised here but I received a new letter and it appears am being asked to resend this to the new court where the case has been transferred (which is in London)?

Does this mean they lost my DQ?

Coupon-mad

Yes they have lost it and you must send the DQ to the named court. Do not send a jpeg.

While your case is quiet, please allow me to post a reminder to you this month to do the government's Public Consultation if you haven't done it yet.

Their proposals are wrong. We must stop them.

We need every poster to come back & complete this vital Consultation before the deadline! Just 2 weeks left but please don't rush it. You can do some then save it and come back to it as you have time.

We understand that you may need some pointers. It looks laborious, we get that.

I'm taking a closer look this week and we'll walk people through the questions, and tell you what I'm going to put and/or what sort of evidence you might wish to use for your response, if you agree with what we'll be saying from our experience.

I've covered up to question 20 already on that thread.

Whilst your answers must of course be your own, there are vital points to safeguard motorists interests to make, that many people may not think of without our guidance because we see cases every day and we know the legal background. There won't be a template - the survey is for you to reply in your words - but we'll help everyone with what to focus on.

@Coupon-mad  Can I send a pdf via email or should I post it? Also should I send a defence again or even witness statement before they invite me to send it?

No because they haven't lost the defence and are not ready for your WS yet. Yes a PDF.

Then turn to the government survey please!

Coupon-mad

Yes I would post a copy too.
