Back again to win again. Need some advice. Thanks.

I'm back again for a second time. First time they pulled out last minute before court date. A win!
Thanks again for all the help from this forum.

Re this new one, I've acknowledged on MCOL so I have a little time to get my defence in order.
Just want to check a couple of things. It's Gladstones (representing for Horizon Parking Ltd) this time. So as I understand it I am to copy the relevant Gladstones specific paragraph 3 into my 10 point defence, the paragraph below that starts: 

3. With regards to the POC in question, two recent persuasive appeal judgments in Civil Enforcement Limited v Chan (Ref. E7GM9W44) and Car Park Management Service Ltd v Akande (Ref. K0DP5J30) would indicate the POC fails to comply with Civil Procedure Rule 16.4(1)(e) and Practice Direction Part 16.7.5.

Is this correct:

Am I to put my defence at the end of this paragraph 3 with the 10 point defence template?

My defence is that I was helping my pregnant wife with a young child and also a disabled woman and her husband, with bad knees, from a separate vehicle into a hotel lobby and rooms with all luggage and I went 2 mins over the allotted drop off time. Plenty of witnesses etc. (I tried to complain to the hotel but they weren't at all helpful/ interested.)

I can formulate the above neatly but just wish to know where it goes.

Hopefully I'm barking up the right tree.

Thanks in advance.

You don't add that detail about what happened, if they didn't plead a specified breach.

That para 3 doesn't look like the one linked for Gladstone cases. It's too short, look again at the link for the Chan/Akande defence words in the Template Defence thread.

Then I suspect the PCN sum is exaggerated by £10 as we have seen every time. That wording has already been written in other Horizon claim threads where Gladstones typically list the PCN as £80 when in fact the signs said £70.

e.g. pleaded £80, should be £70:
