That Car Park Management Plan is a breath of fresh air!

£70 PCNs too, matching what you see at most ANPR monitored supermarkets. Not the knee-jerk £100 seen every time from the more predatory IPC firms.

Never mind the mistaken use of the words 'penalty' and 'fine', it is a great example of landowners & retailers setting out fair parameters rather than sleepwalking into what the ANPR monsters tell them is 'viable'.

Even better would be landowners not outsourcing it to sharks who target shoppers and only make money from penalising the slower moving, elderly or disabled people.

I can but dream.

So to update, the defence paragraphs 1-10 with my para 3 fits nicely into mcol defence box with two lines to spare. I shall proceed to upload it to mcol (unless there is something that I missed that can be added to said two lines)

Thanks all

I'd remove this:

"Defendant respectfully requests that the claim be struck out due to these deficiencies in both evidence and legal basis."

Because it won't be struck out early.

And I'd split your long para into two, making your 'Furthermore…' section paragraph 4, not removing any of the template.

Then renumber the rest, so it reads up to para 11. This would be easier on the eye.

Hello there

An update, gladstones sent letter dated 13th October saying they are proceeding with n180 form attached I have only just received this today. (awaiting court letter and their n180)

I also checked back in to mcol and it states the "Your defence was rejected on 26/10/2026"

I dont understand rejected, does that mean it was not legally correct or just their way of saying moving on to next stage.

As an aside can i represent the registered keeper in the court?

Thanks

Rejected is a terrible problem. Did the wrong person defend, wrong name?

You will have to phone the CNBC in the morning first thing and bung in a defence again pretty sharpish.

You cannot represent the defendant in court instead of them, but you can assist the defendant in court, the defendant should attend

Based on what CM mentioned, it looks like the defendant hasn't defended in their own name. ?

Helping someone else is good, but only the person named on the claim form can defend, unless a properly qualified person such as a solicitor does so on their behalf. ?

We did tell you this back on page 1 , you have not received the paperwork, you are not the defendant

Don't tell us the wrong person defended? That's obviously not possible. If we are right, you have caused the defendant a CCJ risk now, and didn't follow the right steps.

This is not your claim to put your name to.

The Defendant will now have to email a defence in their name (signed & dated under a statement of truth) if MCOL won't let them do it online now.

Do that immediately as an attachment to an email headed URGENT UNPROCESSED DEFENCE - SIGNED BY DEFENDANT IN CLAIM NO. XXXXXXX

Do it in the Defendant's name. Your name appears nowhere.

At the top of page The registered keepers name is in the defendant box

5. Signed - To be signed by you or by your legal representative or litigation friend.

I did sign this one

Coupon-mad

You can't. You've risked the rk a CCJ and must sort it out properly. Sharpish!

You aren't the Defendant nor representative nor litigation friend (those have specific meanings).
