CEL court claim 2026

Gr1pr

Yes, study the 8 steps in the defence template thread in announcements

You were told that it would be posted in March by coupon mad earlier

Le_Kirk

It looks like that is the copy sent to the claimant not the defendant.

Gr1pr

Then the OP should keep checking their MCOL claim history

No it’s definitely the one sent to me Le_Kirk.
I’ll check out the 8 steps again and take it from there then. Thanks 🙌

Hello again

In addition to the above I have now received this along with a very lengthy witness statement (35 points in all!) is this usual?

I can screenshot the additional pages if it’s helpful.

Thanks as always

Of course it's usual. Used to be signed by their 2025 Head of Legal, Scott Wilson. Presumably now signed by Abbas Ali?

RogersRed

Yes that is correct, what does it all mean?!

Coupon-mad

Means nothing important. Why not read the Scott Wilson Witness Statement threads from last year? You'll see!

Finally got me mediation meeting tomorrow for a fine from nearly two years ago. Over by 15 minutes and due to one of the shops I was in at the retail park I was parked in, not having a working card reader (meaning I had to walk into town for cash). I can’t actually believe it’s come to this, how insane! I don’t even know what I’m going to say the whole thing is so ridiculous. It was so long ago I genuinely can’t even remember who was driving. Anyway wish me luck and do sent any tips or advice. Apparently they sent me an attachment saying what to expect (they didn’t of course!)

I don't know what you mean. Nobody spends time on Mediation calls or prepares for it like it's important!

Did you miss the three links about what to say, in the 8 steps in the Template Defence thread? Two minutes, phone down.
