    You are defending the breach as stated in the POC, see your claim form upthread. No Valid Pay And Display/permit Was Purchased

    It'll be discontinued next year, so you just need to play the game. Dead easy to see off,

    "letter received saying the claimant needs to pay their court fees or there claim will be forfeited".

    It says a lot more than that. You also have a hearing date and a deadline for your WS.

    What's that date?

    It'll be discontinued before they have to pay the hearing fee.

    What's that date?

    (Please don't show us the hearing order like some people do, asking us to read it).

    If you dont want to pay a penny, wait for the N279 discontinuation document to arrive by email

    Standard step in the process which results in discontinuation if nerves are held at this stage. Hold yours!

    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.
