DCB Legal / Secure Parking Solutions claim — keeper but not driver
Comments
-
Not 'only' of course!
Use the whole Template Defence with the Chan & Akande wording as para 3.
Add this at the end of the standard para 2:
The Defendant confirms that he was the registered keeper of the vehicle. Liability is denied. The Defendant was not present, did not park the vehicle, did not see any windscreen PCN, and has no personal knowledge of the alleged parking event. The Defendant is therefore reduced to responding based on the limited and unclear information supplied. The Claimant pleads the breach as 'parking without displaying a valid ticket or without a valid parking session', which are distinct contraventions proved by different evidence. The Particulars do not say which is alleged. Nothing in the Particulars identifies the term said to have been breached, the conduct amounting to the breach, or the date the charge became payable.
{You may have to leave out (or shorten) para 10 of the template to make it fit on MCOL}.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Bear in mind that this will be discontinued eventually, so no need to overthink at this stage.
