All my replies gone! When the forum team have done what you request, I can then delete this one. Will you ask the team to LOCK this thread? It used to work like this some years ago.

Yes the reference threads like this one used to be locked, but then that prevented people from updating the posts contained therein, so they were opened to allow the information to be kept up-to-date.

I'll see what needs doing at the weekend (needs to be one page only so definitely a split discussion thread).
I will probably ask for it to be closed as long as I can have it re-opened for occasional edits, like I used to by asking @Crabman about the NEWBIES thread.
I've recently tweaked the template defence wording and yesterday I added to the 8 steps not to use or scan the paper N180 form. So it is up to date.

“I’ve filed my Acknowledgment of Service. Claim Issue Date 10 July 2026. I have read the NEWBIES thread but I cannot locate the current CEL in-house defence template. Could someone please point me to the correct post?”

Template defence thread is one of the pinned posts on the first page of the forum. When you have found it, PLEASE start your own NEW thread and no more posts on this INFO only thread.

Start your own new thread rather than posting on this "Information only Thread" and you will receive bespoke advice.

It's in plain English and not at all overwhelming.
But to get help, please start a thread with your own POC image as you saw when you read other claim threads.
