Its DEFENCE, no S
Looks OK to me, never volunteer information at this early stage, it's a defence, not an explanation

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 ?
