Hi guys so I've spoken to my partner more about what she remembers and she said the ticket machine wasn't working, is this a more viable defence than poor signage?

So she was the driver?

And she is the named Defendant?

Yes she is

But in your responses like the AOS you keep saying the word I 

There is no I for you, if you are not the defendant then you are a stranger to the case, a helper, admin assistant, P.A. ONLY 

You really must use the correct terminology 

My partner completed the AOS online 

My partners defence draft is 

Etc

Yes she is

Then it is her defence, not yours (we were a it confused by you saying "I" and "my defence". Your partner defends it as keeper and driver.

She uses aversion of the words I already wrote for her (changed to make sense if needed) plus an added line about the ticket machine.

Okay so we've got an issue for some reason I thought her deadline for submitting her defence was today but I think it was yesterday. Claim was issued on 30th october and AoS was submitted on 10/11/24. We've logged in to Mcol and it's let us submit a defence albeit its had to be condensed as theres a limit on the number of lines. Should I still email the defence or will we just have to use the Mcol defence I've uploaded, or will they reject this as it is after the deadline?

If its gone in then it was accepted and the correct thing to do if the deadline was imminent or missed

Dont email it 

Its unlikely to be rejected , even though its late 

With the claim issue date on 30th October then the deadline for defence submission was yesterday at 4pm , as KeithP told you on the 17th of November

No they won't reject it.  All good!

A condensed version is fine.  Now you are back on track with the 12 steps.

Hi just an update, received this letter today, do we now just wait on a call from their solicitor?

Just read the newbies and defence template advice again 

Standard stuff ( don't abandon the 12 steps. )

Errr... what call from their solicitor? That's not what happens and isn't in the first 12 steps.

Can I send the N180 form to both parties via email or do I HAVE to post it? Getting conflicting information from the forum.

Does the person defending the claim have to attend mediation or can I attend on my partners behalf?
