ECP DCB LEGAL claim 2025

Coupon-mad

Para 1 can be removed. It still flows.

@wavybagels

FYI All of the defence above fits into MCOL hence the redacted copies from MCOL which I posted. I just forgot to renumber after para 5

What's the usual timescales for a reply on defence do DCB Legal usually wait the full 28 to issue me  their usual template?

Coupon-mad

No it takes longer because they haven't been served the defence yet. You might hear their drivel in December.

BigToad31

That's unfortunate I was looking forward to an argument quite soon 

I'll just keep an eye on MCOL and come back when I have more news

***UPDATE***

DCBLegal have now written to me with the following, they have asked for the evidence which I believe I am not inclined to share with them directly unless someone can advise otherwise:

Ignore them,  save any evidence for the Witness statement plus Exhibits bundle stage in several months time 

BigToad31

Thanks for the reply, most likely will ignore them but is it worth replying saying something a long the lines of 'This will be provided in my witness statement when the time arises through the courts'

Gr1pr

Your choice, doesn't really matter at this early stage 

You dont show your cards face up halfway through a game of poker 

The N180 stage is next, then mediation,  see the 8 steps in the defence template thread in announcements 

BigToad31

Yeah that's true tbf, unless I'm legally obliged I won't bother.

I'll wait for the N180 to be sent to me. Assuming it will be on MCOL when available.
