2) they issued a court claim, not a CCJ, they cannot issue a CCJ, judges do that task when requiredCoupon-mad said:Look, this claim is four figures and Smart Parking never used the POFA 2012 so the claim is lying about that.
Also, as predicted, DCB Legal have failed to list the dates of 10 PCNs.
So the POC fails in two ways. I recommend you ask Contestor Legal if they will take this on as a no-win-no-fee strike out application. If they will, they'll kill it for you and get their costs from Smart/DCB.Thank you again!

Wonder if DCB Legal charged Smart the £115 filing fee. IMHO I bet the Claimant gets the court fees charged to them even though the case being so poorly pleaded was in fact down to DCB and the decision to discontinue was (we believe) theirs too.
So CL didn't do this case fee-free as a strike out application? They defended? Are they now seeking their costs from Smart?
I'll put the Public Consultation link in the next reply.
£325,000 claimed maybe, £12,000 spent in court fees.
£150,000 recovered maybe. Smart might have just been bunged £50k at the beginning and washed all hands.1
