    The thread already tells you the special wording to add for Gladstones claims. And how to submit it and what to do next.

    No next step is missed. There are no questions likely needing answered by us at this stage IMHO and please don't copy & paste the Template Defence here. We do not need to check something already written!

    But show us the Particulars of Claim.

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Yep that's normal for Gladstones, so use the Gladstones para 3 in the Template Defence.

    Confused and struggling to navigate through the forum, the Gladstone template you refer to, is this the 10 points with point 3 being my own words of what’s happened?

    More or less, but pay special attention to the typical paragraph 3 in other recent Gladstones claims on here

    Your defence refutes the POC, not what happened

    The what happened can come later on down the line in your Witness Statement

    Thank you, the witness statement only comes along if it actually goes to court?

    Nope

    It will go to court, your local civil court, 98% of these cases get to the defendants local court

    You will both have the same WS deadline for that court

    I’ve seen some things about people counter claiming, should everyone consider counter claiming?

    Depends if you have good legal grounds for counter claiming, and it requires an upfront fee to the CNBC

    Do you have a good legal claim against the private parking company. ? ( PPE )

    I’ve got no reason to counter claim but have seen others were saying about counter claiming for a days work due to attending the hearing, didn’t know whether this was a genuine valid reason for a counter claim
