Redacted copy:

Do the same sort of defence as the other person with the disabled bay David Lloyd case (clue: I replied to them only last night). There's an EXTRA POINT to add about David Lloyd Clubs.

Thanks Coupon-mad ... should i add this to paragraph three then?

In any event, no contract existed with the Claimant. It is believed that the signs identify the principal 'David Lloyd Clubs'. By any reasonable interpretation, the contracting party at the location is David Lloyd Clubs, not the Claimant, who is merely an agent and has no standing to bring a claim in their own name, pursuant to Fairlie v Fenton (1870) LR 5 Exch 169. Any ambiguity must be interpreted in the way that most favours the consumer.

Thanks for your help and i hope to submit defence today.

It seems David Lloyd tickets are now frequent... disgrace!

Yes add that because I suspect all the signs used at these DL sites identify the principal.

Stick around in thenext fortnight though as we REALLY need every defendant to do the Government's Public Consultation! Change the law. Stop this farce.

Hi,

I submitted by defence and received a letter on 4/08/25 to acknowledge receipt of defence, it said the claimant has 28 days to contact court to proceed... after 28 days i thought i had won, however yesterday (18/09/25) i received a 'notice of proposed allocation to the small claims track' saying i need to complete a questionare n180 and it will go to court..

What happens now? And what is the likelihood of winning in court?

Thanks In Advance,
