    All the dates of your unavailability should be listed. Add a couple of days either side of each to give you some flex should you have flight delays, for example. Add in school holidays too (if you have school kids. Send a copy to the court and one to PE's solicitors (if they are using), otherwise to PE themselves if they are fronting the case.

    Hi everyone, thanks so much for the assistance with the dates.

    I've now received in the post a "reply to defence". Date on the document is 1 May but I only received it middle of last week.

    It, of course, contains all the reasons why my defence is not sufficient to get me out of the original penalty, presumably with the added missed deadline fees on top.

    My concern is that they're now saying to the court I need to request and pay for another hearing if I want to amend my defence in any way. Please see below a PDF of the pages with their reply. The other pages that were posted are copies of the letters that were sent to me that I never received as well as examples of their signage and where they are placed at this particular parking lot.

    Please let me know if the above link doesn't work and I can try add it another way.

    I would appreciate any ideas on how to proceed now. I have not had any correspondence from the courts regarding dates to appear in court so at a bit of a loss as to what the next step in the process is now?

    As always, your advice is so very much appreciated. I can't believe I've been at this for over 6 month's now, so I can really be thankful for your contributions to what, most likely must be, some pretty silly questions!

    Don't get spooked!

    Standard scaremongering. You don't want to amend your defence, I assume, so this is just smoke & mirrors.

    Thanks for the advice.

    I think by reading through their response they seem to have an answer for every thing. I guess that's the point and it's up to a judge to decide if their response fully counters my defence.

    In terms of next steps, should I go through the arduous process of waiting on hold for God knows how long with the court to find out the court date, or just wait for a letter to arrive?

    Thank you!

    No point ringing. Wait for the letter.
