    Use the KISS principle 

    Go to the top of this actual forum, listing page 1 of thousands,  refresh the page 

    Then scroll down to below the yellow banners 

    There are 6 announcements,  threads stuck to the top of the forum so they aren't lost , so pinned 

    You want the newbies thread,  plus the defence template thread,  both of which are always ABOVE your thread. ( this thread. )  you can bookmark them if you want to 

    No searching,  no bookmarks,  just simple use of a forum that uses the thread principles

    Cheers, I do apologise.

    One thing though...I regard myself as fairly computer literate. However, people mention templates and threads on here and I go searching via the magnifying glass icon top right and I can't find these posts. Where do I find posts like 'Template Defence Announcement'. 
    You've posted this underneath my signature ... which (it seems) nobody reads but it tells everyone where the Announcement threads are and how to navigate there

     :)

    Back again!!

    I'm in the process of completing the Directions Questionnaire. Question D1 Asks if I consider the case to be Suitable for Determination without a Hearing. I am assuming I need to answer something like…

    'The case involves factual disputes regarding driver identity, the clarity of signage, the lack of clear seperation between the adjoining car parks and an appropriate parking payment system which require oral evidence to resolve'.

    Thoughts anyone?

    Study the 8 steps in the defence template thread and it explains how to fill in the form

    Use the downloaded N180, not the paperwork , email when completed

    I emailed the completed DQ to: DQ.CNBC@JUSTICE .gov.uk and sent a copy to DCBL. It has been 6 days and it still hasn't appeared on MCOL. The deadline is 23/02/26. Should I be worried? I do the the automatic 'receipt' email.

    The typical wait is 12 to 15 days before processing

    lol Cheers Le_Kirk. I think that is a property that has changed during 'copy and paste'. I received an automated response receipt, so I know it got to it's destination.
