Should I continue to fight???

Indeed, you know they have 30 days to respond, and they dont have to respond - its better for them to take their time

As for comments on the defence, this forum is inundated. if youve just copy and pasted from another source, show us your source so we knoiw how good the starting point is, at least.

you may get help on here but most of it are legal issues in your case and very , VERY few people here are qualified or knowledgeable to help you with legal issues, a handful at most (they could spend all day every day just doing that on here for no financial reward , like you they have lives to lead)

the rest of us help out with common sense and basic facts or point out stuff you could have easily found out yourself, like the 30 days for a SAR request , easy enough to google, so if you complain that after 7 days you havent had a reply, the regulars here think , not surprised, when they have 30 days to reply by law

we are helping dozens and dozens of people, I havent seen you post on other threads helping those, we appreciate you have a life but so do we, the more that help the easier it could be, plus this isnt a legal help forum, its about parking charges, not court cases (read my signature)

so if somebody with a legal background spots your defence and uses their red pen on it, or says its good to go, thats fine, but this is a self help forum and its only as good as those who volunteer their time here, there are no paid advisors, plus you havent paid anything for this advice you have had

chill out and hope that somebody with the correct knowledge helps you , because its pointless expecting people with no legal knowledge to reply, that would muddy the waters, like my reply

and remember, we havent been through anything like this either, most people on here havent, perhaps over 90% havent been through this at all and some only the once , very few are solicitors (maybe 3) and few are CILEX trained, (maybe 1 or 2) and maybe a few union advisors or CAB people and a few teachers like CM


most of the people like yourself are newbies and its their first time , yet a lot of them manage it after carefully reading and using the free advice being given

I am running out of time to submit my defence. Can someone just confirm whether or not a summary of what happened in normal English should be submitted with the defence or just the legalese defence?

Thank you in advance for your help.

the simple answer is - NO

do what KeithP always recommends and then email the legalese signed and dated defence as a pdf attachment to the CCBC in Northampton

where you have fallen down on your question is that you have not read the BARGEPOLE timeline of events linked in the infamous NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread, meaning more work for us as I am doing here yet again (sorry to be so frank) - I specifically switched my laptop on early to answer you properly

what you are inferring is the WS or Witness Statement which comes at the WS & Evidence stage, much nearer your court date in a few months time

the WS is the plain english version where you get to have your say

you do this in the way the courts require, following the laid down procedures, hence why BARGEPOLE wrote down those procedures in simple english over 2 years ago

you will find this much easier if you READ what he has written and is linked in the NEWBIES thread, plus many of his 2018 posts as well (same goes fo LOC123 who has also had advice linked in that NEWBIES thread

so sign and date you legalese defence, scan to pdf and save it, then attach it to your email to the CCBC which KeithP has already explained on a previous page

and READ the posts by KeithP that tell you exactly how to do this in simple english, its not difficult, its following procedures already written by others, like making a cake by following a recipe

good luck (and I do mean it)
