N24 Received From County Court

Nomad2020

Afternoon All,


Can someone please explain the wording on this form to me?

IT IS ORDERED THAT
1) The Claimant by 4PM 22nd September 2025 file and serve a reply to the Defence dated ..........
( A reply is NOT a witness statement)

2) The Court has made this Order on its own initiative without hearing the parties or giving them the opportunity to make representations.
Any party affected by this Order may apply to have it set aside, varied or stayed provided that such an application together with the appropriate fee is made not more than 7 days after the date of service of this Order. Such application should be made to the Judge who made this Order.

***Bizarely I have received an Email this morning stating "without prejudice save as to costs" from £297.64 to an agreeable £100. Then this N24 came in post at lunch time****

Clearly the court requires the claimant or their lawyers to put in a legal response that addresses what was in the defence you put in  ( you are the defendant   )

You can post redacted pictures of the form so the advice could be improved 

Which parking company   ? Which legal company   ?

So anything for me to worry about or do?

No idea because you didn't post a redacted picture or pictures

Pictures of what please?

Gr1pr

Of the court order you received and posted about in my first reply to your query, and mentioned in the thread title

I hope this is ok

Gr1pr

OK, the defendant is not mentioned at all so nothing for you to do at the moment,  it's all on them

You received a copy to keep you informed 

Ignore the settlement pleas by DCB Legal,  they will have to do some work in order to satisfy the court 

Courts seem to be pushing back on badly pleaded shoddy claims,  plus giving WS dates long before giving out hearing dates,  so it's put up or shut up

Yes please. It's all we ask:

Even though this is new and stressful for you: please then do the government's Public Consultation. We need every poster to complete this vital Consultation before the deadline.

We understand that you may need some pointers. It looks laborious, we get that. It doesn't matter; no knowledge is needed except re your own experiences so you can call out a scam industry and you'll protect millions of motorists and help change the law.

I've written some guidance on that thread. I have covered almost every question, providing ideas if you agree with our stance on things like DRFs, which we say must be banned.

Ordinary people like you are falling victim to this scam 15 million times per annum. Motorists need your voice added please.

CLOSES ON FRIDAY. Just days to go.
