Sure, is it this you're referring to? (GBP - top left?)

My apologies, I believe this is correctly redacted now

You cannot use Chan nor Akande as the POC are not sparse (parked in an area reserved for permit holders only).

With an issue date of 10/10/25 and providing you complete the AoS after 15/10/25 and before 29/10/25

your defence deadline date is 4.00 p.m. on 12/11/25

And Mazur doesn't assist, so leave any reference out of the Defence.  David Croot is a Solicitor (but just how many of these bulk litigation cases can he truly be fronting?).  

Q to anyone who knows .... does the form need to be physically signed by the legal representative?

Not on MCOL, no.

The OP should copy the other GBP Management defence - a thread that I recall replying on just days ago and they had adapted the usual Smart Parking defence.

Hey, had a look through your profile and can't seem to find the thread you were referring to. Could you kindly link it? Thanks in advance (:

Ah i see, that makes sense i must've misread it. 

I've just referred back to it now and it says i should respond to the allegations made which was that i'd parked in a permit holders only area - not quite sure what a viable response here is as none of the suggestions in the template are accurate. Would something like this be viable? - 

The Defendant was the registered keeper and driver. The vehicle was present for under five minutes, a reasonable consideration period to find a bay, read any terms, and decide whether to stay; no parking contract was formed and no breach occurred. The notice includes an issue time but no photographs and no start/finish timestamps evidencing any period of parking. The Claimant is put to strict proof of a parking period and the specific term said to have been accepted and breached.
