Use their case admin email and give them the correct address for the service of papers, ditto with DCB Legal if they don't have it 

The D1 reply was given by Ldast recently in another thread, Which is why you should read other threads

Thanks. That's clear now.

At the beginning of this thread, I mentioned that I had 2 simultaneous tickets for the 2 cars that I own, so one of the N180s is for a vehicle I wasn't driving - should I be completing N180 the same for both (I'm particularly thinking on D1) or at all where I'm not the driver? Thanks in advance.

If you are dealing with 2 separate cases, then you deal with the same steps for each claim, be it one, two or ten

But if the cases are identical apart from claim numbers, you ask for them to be dealt with as a single case that covers two PCNs, so merging them into one 

You know the circumstances, I dont, but 2 claims means 2 sets of paperwork, 2 of everything 

The defences should have dealt with the issue of keeper, and driver , so I don't see the significance here, both should be judged in court, regardless of who was driving

In your covering emails x 2 ask for the 2 claims to be consolidated by the allocating Judge when he/she receives these cases in boxwork, because they involve the same alleged contract, location, parties and signage (the only real factual difference being minor: two different vehicles, one of which the Defendant was not driving).

Refer to both claim numbers clearly and say there should be just one hearing allocated to hear both claims because this is a complete waste of duplicated court time.  Deliberate duplicate intimidation by a legal firm who will discontinue anyway and you ask for 'unless order' Directions that will make this Claimant liable for the Defendant's costs in the case of a late discontinuance and/or failure to pay the hearing fee(s).

Please read the NEWBIES thread again.  In the N180 section (in bold) I beg people not to ask about the 'new' two year old questions and I provide 2 links about D1.

I had already seen the N180 link which shows the question I referred to, but there is no apparent guidance as to how one should answer it. I assume I had answer 'no' so as to avoid the Judge deciding immediately in their favour but my uncertainty results in my question.

Did you see and read these (particularly the second link) as they give good info.

Yes, there are a couple of new Qs in the tedious N180 form; please DON'T post asking about how to answer them:

Yep. I'm not sure how much clearer I can make it in the NEWBIES thread than the above, which is in bold for a reason and links to all the guidance needed re question D1.
