Parking Eye failed to pay Hearing fees

vixxyvix86

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone else got to the stage of just before the hearing but Parking Eye failed to pay the hearing fees and what happened next? My hearing was due to take place Monday 07/07/25 but I’ve had confirmation by email from the court that PE that the hearing is vacated due to no payment. I’ve now asked for confirmation that the case will be struck out. I hadn’t sent my witness statement yet as I was leaving it to see if they did pay as the hearing date was sent very quick (21days notice) and it said they hadn’t paid on that communication. 

Any information greatly received thankyou.

Did the court order say that the claim would be struck out if the hearing fee wasn't paid?

In the original email when I asked the other day yes - Castle said:

In the original email I sent the other day yes - but not on the email I’ve received this morning. PE have sent me their witness statement this morning so I believe they think it’s going ahead but I definitely have confirmation that the hearing is vacated.

There have been several discontinuations this week  alone, hundreds over the last few years 

I think one was discontinued yesterday with a hearing tomorrow or next week

Thank you - I can’t seem to register in that website but I definitely believe my hearing won’t go ahead - I just wonder what the next stops are/if PE are likely to try and get the case reinstate. Thanks.

Unless it has been struck out then the claim is still alive; you'll need to phone the court and ask them.

Are DCB Legal involved at all?  They sometimes represent PE, and frequently fail to pay the court fee. PE, when running their own case are not noted for failing to pay the fee.

Given the awful centralised phone service now i would always recommend emailing a defendants local court and NEVER call.

A witness statement deadline is typically 2 to 4 weeks before the hearing date,  so both are late,  yours isn't even in  !

My witness statement deadline is 4pm tomorrow - I’ve found it all very rushed and does not fit the pattern of other cases I’ve read!
