    Hi again, not sure if I have messed up, advice appreciated please. I submitted my AOS on the 1st December, the actual issue date is the 25th Nov - I had it marked down as 33 days after the 25th November to submit my defence, it will still let me submit on the MCOL website, am I ok? 

    Also, I've not had any emails from the CNBC or DCB legal, should I have expected anything?
    With an issue date of 25/11/25 and having completed the AoS in a timely manner your defence deadline date is 4.00 p.m. on 29/12/25
    What were you expecting from either of those two bodies?  When you submit your defence vai MCOL using our template defence, you will then be contacted.

    Hello all again,

    I think it’s time for me to submit my witness statement, I have a court date of early September.

    I’ve found some previous WS’s on this forum which I can follow to create mine, but as I understand it this has to be a factual account?

    The problem is, as it was over 5 years ago now, I really don’t remember many details. What should I actually put in there?

    It’s possible I have an email parking receipt from the day, I’m not sure if this helps though, although they haven’t included time frames on their claim?

    Sorry just a bit lost on what I should do at this stage. Thanks in advance.

    Please edit your thread title to something more suitable like

    SMART PARKING, DCB LEGAL WS stage

    Study the WS by JackR1 , see if it helps

    Post the Hearing fee deadline date and the WS deadline, bearing in mind that DCB LEGAL will discontinue before the hearing fee deadline date, same as hundreds of other claims on here ( over 900 in the discontinuations thread by Umkomaas) , so keep checking your email inbox and spam folders for their N279 discontinuation document and then post a redacted picture of it below

    Ignore me, guess what I just found in my spam folder (after reading another thread which warned to check spam). THE N279! I believe this means it is over?

    Thank you @Bazbaz99 for the copy of your NoD . I can now count your result in the infamous DCBL Legal thread of shame. 👍

    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.
