Defence for PCN CCJ Set Aside

peanutbutterjamjam

Hello all,

I received a CCJ for a PCN for a parking space I rent from the lease holder.

I applied to the county court to have the CCJ set aside and attended court.

the judge agreed to set aside the CCJ and that I needed to submit my defence on the basis I have permission to park in the space by the lease holder.

I have since received a copy of the lease from the lease holder that details the parking space with in it.

Can you help providing legal wording I should use to submit with the defence.

cheers,

Well done on getting the CCJ set aside. Was the claim sent to an old address? Did you ask for your costs to be paid by the Claimant?

Use the Template Defence and the extra wording for residential cases - both of those are in post 2 of the NEWBIES thread.

@Coupon-mad thanks for your response. I was out of the country in the response time period. Yes judge said I can claim setting aside costs. Is there any other cost I can claim for instance time spent making a defence.

Not unless the C behaved unreasonably which it doesn't sound like they did. But those costs might come into play if they discontinue very late.

 I suggest you send a costs assessment with your defence, and a witness statement attaching the evidence the judge wants to see.
