    Do not mention the word "fine" in your WS, because its actually a pcn invoice, not a fine ! ( you definitely don't want a judge to see that word. )

    Study the WS by JackR1 , poshmosh and any other recent cases to draft your WS plus Exhibits bundle

    Its very well known that ECP machines are faulty and produce errors etc, they are being investigated by the CMA for it, there is even a video about faulty ECP machines

    " I didn't enter my registration correctly (only the first four digits registered)."

    No that wasn't what happened. The ECP machine caused the error, not you.

    Surely you've seen the BBC Article with Lynda Eagan demonstrating this scam on a video? Use that and the usual exhibits seen in JackR1's example.

    Then show us the Notice of Discontinuance.

    Does their date to pay the hearing fee fall before the date for both parties to file & serve WS?

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    I had counted it in the disco thread, and put my acknowledgment to @Fleurlur here, but forgot to press the ‘Post Comment’ button. So here it is! Well done @Fleurlur 👏

    @Fleurlur Thank you for the copy of your NoD. I can now count your result in the infamous DCBL Legal thread of shame. 👍

    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
