Parking Control Management - Claim defence (Successful)

massop

Ok thanks,

The Notice of Trial date did not provide any information on how to submit the Exhibits & witness statement electronically,

I am assuming I need to email these to the same email I used for submitting defence below?

ClaimResponses.CNBC@JUSTICE.gov.uk

Definitely Not. ( the CNBC have not been involved for months. )

Look up the website for your local civil court that sent you the court order, check their email details, phone them if necessary, try using Courtf

Absolutely NOT!

Thanks

I assume many people must make trhe same mistake as me then, since it is not clearly stated how you should send communication to the court on the letter they send you confirming the date.

I was looking for the hertford courts email, I found it below (for future ref) and have sent in the documents

enquiries.hertford.countycourt@JUSTICE .gov.uk

All (well most) county courts follow the same format but to be sure they can be found here: -

Observations

The CNBC is Not a court , just a civil service office

The CNBC did send you an N180 where you nominated your local civil court

The CNBC did send you a letter telling you when & where they transferred the case to ( your nominated civil court )

Your local nominated civil court did send you a letter with their details on it ( the only court involved. )

Websites and phone numbers are there to be used ( used to be phone directories and yellow pages. )

Because you are on here, search engines like google and duckduckgo etc are available to you too

Had the hearing today.

TLDR - I won based on inadequate signage

Long story - Turned up on time but did not get seen for almost 2 hours.

Moorside Legal did not turn up but they did issue a request pursuant to CPR Part 27.9 notice of non-attendance to the court. Judge was ok with this and we continued.

Judge wanted me to summarise my defence, I started going through all the points, but he said we will focus on the signage to begin with.

The Witness statement they provided to the court was different to what they provided me (exhibits was different) so the judge provided me a copy of what he was given so we can continue.

Looks like what was provided to the court was even worst than what was provided to me, there was no images provided of my vehicle and signage in the same location (the provided indoor signage when my vehicle was outdoors…).

Judge said based on this he is throwing it out, asked for my costs and I provided (he said he could only provide £0.45 per mile for driving so he cut down my full request a little), they have 14 days to pay me.

Case closed.

In the end I still lose out financially because my contract work pays me more daily than the time I put into this but I could not let these vampires win on principle. I imagine they are making millions off everyday people with these claims, such a shame really.

Thanks for your guidance, it is much appreciated.

Another notch to add to your belts :)

Yay, well done!

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

I'm surprised he didn't call a halt when he realised you had been sent a different evidence bundle from them than the court got. That's a clear abuse IMHO.

Hi All,

I just recieved the judgement in the post ordering PCM to pay my witness expenses. How do I go about colecting this?

The deadline for them to pay me has passed and I dont know the usual process for this, do I just call them via the number on their webpage?

No their solicitor pays these costs. Email them and give them your bank details as well as a two finger salute, perhaps.
