    Thank you very much -  I will ignore and wait for the next stage. It is from smart parking Ltd. 
    And if you read page 14 of the Public Consultation thread, I've linked 3 dozen current Smart claim threads. Copy theirs.
    As I already signposted you to above.

    Pick one from those links. I told you which thread and page they are linked on.

    Your defence will have 11 paragraphs but please don't ask us to check.

    If not, just read any other Smart Parking claim thread you can see on page one or two of the forum right now! You do not need a link. This is a really simple bog standard Smart Parking case.

    It is actually copying.

    Hi again. I submitted my defence and then a few weeks later I have a missed call from DCB legal - do I call them back or ignore? Thanks

    Am I right to keep ignoring these emails and calls?

    Hi just had the mediation call and it was left unsettled - does this mean it is definitely going to court ?
