That's great to see; a non-template defence is right for a cloned numberplate case.

You don't need this if putting wording in on MCOL because the boxes already covers it:

Statement of Truth

I believe that the facts stated in this Defence are true.
I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in its truth.

Thanks for confirming that! Just wondering — in your experience, would it be better to submit the Defence via MCOL or to email it to ClaimResponses.CNBC@justice.gov.uk?

I’ve got quite a detailed Defence (cloning case with evidence and specific facts), so I’m leaning towards email to preserve formatting, but I’d appreciate your view on which route is more reliable.

Email is fine, as long as you do it as per the first 12 steps in the Template Defence thread and get the auto-receipt. Then check MCOL weekly to make sure the CNBC update it.

I have just received a letter from DCB Legal dated 3 July. They have reviewed the defence and want to proceed. I have a copy of their N180.

Just as expected and in line with the NEWBIE sticky and 12-steps. Wait for your copy if the DQ in the post, then download one and complete it. Once you can get back into MCOL, check your status and download a DQ once you see DQ posted to you.
