    After that you will receive the usual DCB Legal letter saying "they have read your defence" (they haven't) and they will continue (until they discontinue).

    Standard part of the process, seen in almost every case. Hold firm, meet any court deadlines, and look forward to your Notice of Discontinuance coming to you before too long (around the date when DCB Legal must pay the hearing fee).

    Post a redacted copy of the NoD so I can count you in the following thread:

    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.
