Responding to Claim Form - Secure Parking/DCBL Legal

akramir

Hi - I have just sent over AOS via MCOL and getting defence ready for a claim issue date of 25-Jun-2024. 

Just wanted to know the correct email back to send the defence to. Is this ClaimResponses.CNBC@justice.gov.uk or previously provided email of CCBCAQ@justice.gov.uk

Thanks!

The most up to date information is in the opening post of the template defence thread.

Is this to do with any of your other threads?  If so, it is best to post on an existing thread rather then starting a new one whenever a question pops up.  But, as @KeithP writes, all answers can be found in NEWBIE sticky and/or template defence thread.

Hi - No its a PCN I have been dealing with since 2023 (a new one) - about to send my defence off to the court hence the question on latest correspondence address.

Thanks - I sent it to ClaimResponses.CNBC@justice.gov.uk 

I did just get an acknowledgement stating the below:-

Thank you for emailing the Claim Responses Team in the Civil National Business Centre. Please expect a response to your enquiry in 10 days

 

 

When sending us documents please ensure you comply with the Practice Direction 5B

 

https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil/rules/part05/pd_part05b

 

Documents not complying will not be accepted, in particular if it is over 10MB or 25 printed pages in size.

I note that my PDF signed defence was over 10MB - would that be a problem?

akramir

Submitted with the reduced PDF size - will keep you all posted on this...

just by way of an update - my defence was submitted/received on 21-07-2024 but I have not received a directions questionnaire yet. Is the response deadline 28 calendar days from the claimant?

Just this morning I received from the claimant's solicitor a copy of their questionnaire and offering to settle (but not my own questionnaire from the court).

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Sit on your hands and keep waiting for the CNBC to catch up, checking your MCOL claim history to see when they have posted the N180 to your address, which is when you can download it, fill it in and email it to the DQ email address at the CNBC 

Time limits depend on many factors, no point worrying about them until your DQ has been sent to you 

Keep following the 12 steps, bearing in mind that mediation is now mandatory, not optional

The template defence first 12 steps already tells you about the likely timeline (it isn't 28 days).  Please re-read it as Mediation rules have changed and you need to know.

Thanks all for your help. I finally received a copt of the DQ - one minor question I do have is on D - Suitability for determination without a hearing. I am assuming the recommended answer to that question is NO - then stating the reason why I believe the hearing is needed. Can somebody please confirm?
