    The issue date was 30/06 and the AOS was 14/7, I think I have until next Monday to file my defence so it's my priority for this week.
    Your deadline is Monday 4th August at 4pm

    OK, so you need to use Chan and Akande in para 3 of your defence (search the forum for wording) as well as stating that you are disabled and did not breach a term, and the supposed new obligation to 'register' the Blue Badge as well as display it, is clearly an unfair, unexpected and onerous burden which breaches both the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Equality Act 2010.

    To fit all that in using MCOL (we now advise defendants do use it), you may have to remove the final paragraph of the short Template Defence. That's fine.
    As above, concentrate on what I suggested above. Your version is too long and has muddled things up a bit. Not needed. Don't reinvent the wheel. Use the template as is.

    Don't throw in old stuff like Hetherington-Jakeman and Masterson from two hundred* years ago!


    *I might be exaggerating...
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
