should have been Friday

you need to do it NOW

hi ericsbrother...confused...thought i had done everything required with the cpr 31.14...didnt know i had to do anything else except wait for a response of gladstones...you say i can do it on MCOL..how?...do i begin a new claim...i thought i just had to write to the court now and get it struck off

go up on mcol now

do that same you did for when you acknowledged the claim

just select file a defence

that can still bve done but it is not your defence.

You still have to submit a defence on time.

You also have to do a bit of homework and not just rely on reading your thread once in a blue moon.

There are hundreds of threads here concerning court claims and they all say the same thing and that is what is written on the paperwork you were sent as the N1 claim form. The timetable is spelt out.

I think the OP may be confused that there are multiple things needing to be done, and that the CPR request is the same thing as filing a defence on MCOL.

OP needs to sort this out in their head:-

1. GET YOUR SKELETON DEFENCE UPLOADED ON MCOL, OR GLADSTONE'S ARE LIKELY TO GET A DEFAULT JUDGMENT.

2. Send the CPR31.14 request to Gladstone's

3. Write to the Court (i.e. the bulk centre at Northampton, as it hasn't been allocated yet) as per post #46 from Ericbrother ... but that will have to wait until you have given them reasonable time (usually 14 days) to respond to your CPR request.

I think that is correct. Experts may wish to correct any misconceptions of mine.

hi.. just submitted my defence on MCOL.. would have done this sooner but was confused over the procedure...hope i have now done all that is required...so what will happen now as i feel i might have done this too late

the courts are quite generous as far as foul ups in procedure go for lay individuals. I'm sure that Gladstones will not challenge it or they might have to explain why they habitually send in HUNDREDS of their documents late or not at all.

thanks ericsbrother...complete oversight on my behalf...i thought i just had to do the AOS thing on the MCOL site...do i know still write to the court as you have mentioned in thread 46

give it a couple of days to make sure your defence is logged onto the system

(obviously you can check but generally it takes that time) and then do so.

There are examples on the parking pranksters blogspot where people have had claims struck out because the claim was generic rubbish so have a trawl though blogs of late last year and see if you can find one.

hi ericsbrother..

.just received a letter from gladstones solicitors this morning

..it is a directions questionnaire n180..

.they intend to proceed with the claim and intend to request a special direction that the case be dealt with on the papers and without the need for an oral hearing.

.they have elected not to mediate and say their client would be happy to listen to any genuine payment proposals.

.a n159 form has been attached.

..dont know what my next move should be

regards

you go read other like threads here...

you await your N180 from THE COURT

and object to the paper hearing.

ignore gladstones and write to the court insisting upon a hearing in person. They would like a paper hearing so the court doesnt hear about their abuse of process etc that you will raise before you get stuck into the defence of the claim

hi , thanks for the reply ericsbrother, nice one,

site team advised me to wait for the N180 form from the court to be delivered,

should i wait for that to arrive?

...been searching on the forums for what normally happens at this stage but finding it difficult even when i do a search for the N180 stuff..

.been extremely busy on my 19th day without a day off

..is there a particular thread you could point me to so i can read it,

once again thanks

hi ,,its ok ...reading a thread now

cheers

follow eric

hi, when i write to the court do i send them any paperwork i.e a copy the cpr 31.14 that i sent to gladstones and tell them i have had no reply from gladstones over the request or just insist upon a hearing in person

regards

Hi, just prepared my letter for the court this morning insisting upon a hearing in person, and also for the claim to be struck out

Good luck ste2562, we'll be thinking of you.

Please let us know how it goes.

HB

with striking out of claim

you have to go for a procedural reason

so something like request claim to be struck out under CPR 16.4 for failing to show cause of action by inadequate Particulars of Claim and then refusing to provide further detail and proof of locus standi by way of a CPR 31.14 request.

There are other procedural methods with different CPR numbers so look up which best suits the situation

The locus standi bit is their contract with landowner and without that they cant do court.

What may happen is that they are instructed to provide this proof.

hi, thanks honeybee,, hi ericsbrother ..took your example from thread 46...cheers...thanks for all the support from the people on this site...lets see what happens

regards

they are posts not threads..........

hi, just got my n180 directions questionnaire from the county court this morning...will be filling out

no to mediation...yes to small claims track and at my local county court...got until 24th april to complete and file it with the court office

and send gladdys an unsigned copy with any phone numbers and emails removed

thank you site will do

hi these are the pics i took at maghull shopping centre..

.the east car park is free and the signage tells you this

..but the west car park is for employees..

i think the signage is unclear as both the signs are that close in appearance that you would think it is free in both car parks..

.i would use this argument in my defence in court.

.i think the signage is very misleading..

.also there is no warning on entering the west car park

..no signage at all as you enter the west car park

yes you do use it,

confusing and inadequate signage is somehting that has been successful at that site before.

Have you read the Parking pranksters blogs regarding parking there,

Gladdys often withdraw at the last moment but will only do so after they have read your defence so reference to cases where they have been trashed

and then making comment about them knowing this and thus the claim against you is malicious and reckless and you want a full costs recovery order may make them throw in the towel.

Does the west car park have the same ownership I wonder?
