    You need to ring the court and ask if the claimant has paid the hearing fee.

    Who is the claimant? Is it through DCB Legal?

    Phone the court and see if they paid the hearing fee  ( deadline was 9th January 2026. )

    Check your email inbox and spam folders for their N279 discontinuation document 

    What is the WS plus Exhibits bundle deadline. ?  ( its usually 2 weeks before the hearing date  )

    Hearing date is 26th January , if it goes ahead, if they paid. ?

    Who is the claimant parking company. ?  Which solicitors  ?

    They probably failed to pay the fee

    If not, we hope you didn't fail to file & serve your WS & evidence bundle this week? As ordered on page 2 of that order.

    But we reckon it's discontinued. And we need to see a copy of the NoD from DCB Legal.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Of course it did. Hearing Orders require action from both parties. Your date to file and serve a WS and evidence was likely a few days ago. But so was theirs! This stage is fully covered in the NEWBIES thread section in red capitals: IMPORTANT, KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN' that nobody seems to read...

    You should have been expecting this stage and you should have read the second page of the hearing order properly. You don't just file a defence in this process then rock up to court to ambush the other side with photos and evidence.

    Anyhoo, it won't matter if they have discontinued, which is for you to establish!
