Defence

BREAKTHROUGH

Hello,

I have noticed some things have changed and we now have to submit the defence on mcol. Can I confirm that we use the start defence tab which is below the AOS?
I have unluckily gotten another ticket which I did pay for and renewed twice on the app, sent the evidence to euro car park of payment but I am now still being taken to court. A lot seems to have changed since my last win so just wanted to confirm.

    Hello,

    1) I have noticed some things have changed and we now have to submit the defence on mcol. Can I confirm that we use the start defence tab which is below the AOS?


    I have unluckily gotten another ticket which I did pay for and renewed twice on the app, sent the evidence to euro car park of payment but I am now still being taken to court. A lot seems to have changed since my last win so just wanted to confirm.
    1)  Correct,  but ensure that you have drafted it first, then when complete,  copy and paste it in and save it,  making sure that it fits into the box , no errors and within the 122 lines, then press submit if you are happy to continue 

    2)  ECP and DCB LEGAL tend to discontinue the claim just before payment is due 

    A lot has changed this year,  and since the pandemic too

    Thank you for your reply, really appreciate it.

    Is the witness statement still a thing and do we also have to upload that to MCOL also? I am assuming we cannot upload pictures in the defence so this would be at the witness statement stage, right?

    3) yes, in several months time when your local civil court is involved,  not MCOL 

    4) definitely not, it's a text only defence,  no Exhibits or evidence,   that MCOL want,  nothing else required 

    5) correct,  so probably next year

    Your WS (later) goes nowhere near the CNBC admin centre at Northampton or you'll gave breached the local court's hearing Order!

    DCB Legal will discontinue at WS stage anyway.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
