    The first few words there talk about the Claimant paying a fee.
    Ok, thank you - so I just need to provide the court & claimant a copy of all the evidence I intend to use 14 days before hearing. Based on the NB threat: 

    • My witness statement - I assume this is a slightly elaborated version of what I put in section 3 on my defence?
    •  A copy of the Beavis case sign as a comparison to show how awful the small print sign was in yours case (see Google images - it's yellow and black)
    • Photos proving the scarce/illegible small print signs & a view showing the lack of entrance signs, etc. and maybe a video of how it looks from a car? Get a passenger to hold a camera or phone to prove the lack of signs in similar light conditions.

    and can I just email it to the relevant court office email as it doesn't state on the paperwork?

    Don't rush to produce a WS. DCB Legal are most likely going to discontinue before the WS deadline. You certainly don't want to be sending your WS to the claimant before you've had a chance to review theirs, if at all possible.

    Funnily enough, I've just checked my email and they've discontinued the case today. Thank you so much to everyone in this thread and the people who put together the NB thread - If there's anyway I can support please let me know - God bless

    Great news 🥳  Shocking waste of your time and public resources. Have you signed the petition linked in the post below. Please do if you want to tell Govt to improve Private Parking practice. Ask family, friends and work mates to sign too. Once your signature is confirmed use the shown link to 'Contact your MP to let them know you have signed this petition'. Our MPs are the ones to make this happen. 🙏

    Yay! You won. Congrats  :D

    ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

    What we need you to do to support our campaign is to please show us the attached NoD so that we can count it in the important DCB Legal discontinuances thread by @Umkomaas , which we show to Government.


    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
