Sorry I'm not sure what info you mean when you say post the particulars of the claim.

The Particulars of Claim   ( PoC ) are on the lower left of the claim form,  which includes the VRM details,  hide the VRM and post a picture of that section only

Here is the poc -

OK thanks 

I suggest that you change the thread title to something more suitable like 

Napier,  B W Legal court claim 2025 

The old title is outdated and doesn't tell anyone which stage you are at

Hi. I am searching the site but can't find the Defence template that goes up to point 30. I keep finding shorter versions. Could someone please add a link to it. I need to complete it ASAP. Thank you

The Template Defence thread is one of seven Announcements situated on page 1. Same place as NEWBIES thread.

Not to worry. Finally found it towards the bottom of the Newbies Parking Fine page.

I have added my POC above. Can anyone advice how to change paragraph 3 on my defence for this? I've looked at other ones but fishing it difficult to know how to word mine.

Post your draft of paragraphs 2 & 3 below first, based on other recent cases on here within the last 2 months 

After that happens, we will advise you about any changes that need to be made

Hi. I have only added in paragraph 2 that i was the driver at the end. If you could help with paragraph 3 please - 

The facts known to the Defendant:

2. The facts in this defence come from the Defendant's own knowledge and honest belief.  Conversely, the Claimant sets out a cut-and-paste incoherent and sparse statement of case. The POC appear to be in breach of CPR 16.4, 16PD3 and 16PD7, and fail to "state all facts necessary for the purpose of formulating a complete cause of action". The Defendant is unable, on the basis of the POC, to understand with certainty what case, allegation(s) and what heads of cost are being pursued, making it difficult to respond. However, the vehicle is recognised and it is admitted that the Defendant was the registered keeper and driver.

3. Referring to the POC: The defendant did not breach any terms and conditions displayed as no where does it state within the carpark what the grace period is. The defendant spent 7 minutes in the carpark, not leaving the vehicle and then left the carpark after realising they were at the wrong meeting point. The defendant realised 5 minutes later after meeting with friends that they may have been in the carpark over the grace period so called Napier Parking to ask how long the stay had been. Napier parking said they can't tell them and to wait to see if a fine comes through. The defendant asked if they could purchase a £1 ticket to cover the time spent in there but was told they couldn't. The defendant was not aware of the short grace period in this carpark of 5 minutes as this is stated nowhere.

Yep I think that's good.
