Defence Via Email or Online

I have completed a defence. I did one last year so adjusted it and PDF is ready to be sent. I have previously emailed them but read on the newbies post that you have to do on MCOL website. I cannot see anywhere I can add attachments. Can i still send via email to following?

    Nope, they retired that address nearly 18 months ago 

    We would recommend that you use the newest July 16th template defence in the thread by coupon mad near the top of the forum,  adapting paragraphs 2 & 3 , and submit it on MCOL as explained in that thread

    The correct email addresses are also in the same thread, so I suggest that you study the first 2 posts more closely 

    You don't HAVE to do it on MCOL,  but it is now HIGHLY RECOMMENDED  !

    Are you using the newly created 8-point Defence from the Template Defence Announcement?  That's designed to fit the MCOL portal perfectly, so no need to manipulate any text to save space. 
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Added my own circumstances and submitted online.

    Is the DQ sent within the same week? Going abroad for 2 weeks on 9th August. Will have limited access to emails so ideally want to send off before I leave or after I get back on 23rd August

    It can be done after you get back.

    Along with the Public Consultation we will be discussing in depth this month. We will need every defendant to respond.
