DcbLegal missed Witness Statement deadline

Hello All,

Thank you to the administrators/organisers of this forum. Its been very helpful.

I recently submitted my WS in person to the county court and by email to dcblegal on the deadline day but I have not received dcblegal's WS. I'm now waiting to see if they will make the trial fee which should be about 10 days time.

My Questions:
Will there be any advantage for me as dcblegal missed the deadline?
Will I be able to submit a supplementary WS?
What has been the outcome of such situations where defendant didn't receive WS (or received it after the specified deadline)from dcblegal?

Thanks a lot in advance.

    Failing to send a witness statement often is a precursor to the N279 discontinuation letter.

    1)  possibly,  it's up to the judge after being promoted , IF a hearing occurs 

    2)  yes if you needed to, but probably not necessary 

    3)  an email from DCB LEGAL to your inbox or spam folder and their N279 NoD document would be attached,  so keep checking both folders 


    Which parking company   ?

    If you have submitted your WS make sure you apply for costs in the event of a discontinuance.

    If you spent 2 hours on it, that's £48 they owe you.
