    Its DEFENCE,  no S

    Looks OK to me,  never volunteer information at this early stage,  it's a defence,  not an explanation 

    MCOL only,  or ideally on MCOL, not email,  not Royal Mail,  study the 8 steps in the defence template thread,  especially step 1


  • Thanks all, I have submitted defence and on Claim History section on  MCOL it says "Your defence was submitted on {date and time]"

    Please show it again for completeness. The defence is fine and they'll discontinue before the hearing next year.

  • I just got an email from bulklitigation@dcblegal.co.uk with an attached form named N180. The only thing about the form is that they requested the hearing venue to be Claimant's Home court. I guess I just need wait for HMCTS to send me a form or organise a mediation ?
