Civil Enforcement LTD - Small Claims Court

Options
Hi,

I've had a Small Claim issued by CEL. The PoC states that I breached the terms and conditions of their car park. The actual particulars are that I did purchase a ticket for one hour (which I still have) but did so 14 minutes after arriving in the car park (was talking to a work colleague) I left 10 minutes later, so well within the hour I'd paid for.

As per your guides (really helpful thanks), I've completed a Acknowledgement of Service and I think the next stage now is to issue my defence via MCOL. I just want to check this is correct and also that I'll be using CEL reference in this defence. 

Many thanks.

    Add to the template, the words you find when you search the forum for:

    Hannah Robinson 5 minute rule wonders mine

    You may have to remove para 10 to make it fit into the MCOL box but your defence mainly needs to talk about the '5 minute rule' ban.

    Then (separately) also raise a complaint with the BPA that CEL are litigating a '5 minute rule' case and that Coupon-mad in MSE told you that Sara Roberts is taking these ones seriously and they are being investigated.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
