Thanks for pointing it out. I will blackout the details and reupload

Thanks for your reply ericsbrother. They slapped a ticket on the screen. As I had written a letter to them on a 'without prejudice' basis trying to negotiate a settlement on behalf of my aunt. I did not mention who the driver or suggested that I was the keeper of the vehicle in my letter. So they just assumed I was the keeper and sent me a NTK. They wrote in the NTK that 'We have received your details following a transfer of liability naming you as a keeper of the vehicle'. This is incorrect - they have made an assumption on the basis of my letter sent to them that I was the keeper and that I have admitted to the transfer of liability from the driver to myself. Can I challenge this with the judge in court? And ask the claimant to show evidence which proves that such transfer of liability took place. Furthermore, please see points 7 and 8 of the Claimant's WS. In point 7 the claimant states that the notice was sent to the Defendant in accordance of with the POFA. If this statement is correct the then the Claimant should have relied on para 11 of Schd 4 POFA and got the details of the registered keeper from the DVLA and sent the NTK to them. In point 8 - the claimant claims that the Defendant appealed the charge and provided an address for service and response to the appeal. My letter was not an appeal it was an offer to settle. Can the claimant argue this point - that I have assumed liability on behalf of the driver and/or keeper?

Hi Everyone!! Please see below brief details of the case to date. In August 2017 my aunt and I had gone to visit a family friend who lived in a private apartment complex. She was the driver and is registered keeper of the vehicle. It was late at night (i.e. 10pm) and the family friend assured us that it would be fine to park our car in the private car park for the flats. When we returned to the car we noticed a parking charge notice stuck to the screen. My aunt was really disappointed as we could have easily parked on the street for free. I had once previously written to a private parking company on a 'without prejudice' basis and had offered to settle the PCN for £10. As it had worked before I thought it would work again. So I told my aunt that I'll write to them and offer to settle the PCN on her behalf. I did so but the parking company did not accept the offer and wrote back to me stating that my appeal was unsuccessful. So then I let it be. I then received a notice from them in September 2017 which I ignored. After which I received a Letter Before Claim from Gladstones Solicitors in November 2017. I responded to the LBC stating that the alleged debt is disputed and any court proceedings will be vigorously defended. I also brought to their notice that their LBC was defective and did not comply with Para 3 of the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims under the Civil Procedure Rules 1998. I asked them to send me a compliant LBC. I did not receive a reply to my letter so in December 2017 - I decided to respond to their LBC online by stating that I disputed the debt as I did not want to be out of time of the 30 day reply period. I did not receive any further correspondence from Gladstones. I then received a County Court Claim Form in March 2018. I acknowledged service and then filed a defence within the time period. I then received a Notice of Proposed Allocation to the Small Claims Track at the beginning of April 2018. I then filed form N180 DQ within the time limit. I then received a Notice of Transfer of Proceedings at the end of April 2018. Finally, I received a Notice of Allocation to the Small Claims Track (Hearings) in May 2018. No date for the hearing was fixed or specified in the document. However, it did state that - "each party shall deliver to every other party and to the court office copies of all documents on which he intends to rely at the hearing within 21 days of the service of this order". As I was flying abroad the next day I was not able to send any documents to the court or the claimant. I have only returned back to the UK yesterday. I have received a witness statement from the Claimant along with Exhibits. I still have not received any further correspondence from the court regarding the date of the hearing. MY QUESTIONS: 1) Am I out of time to file a Witness Statement and other evidence? or will I have time until 14 days before the hearing date when it's fixed? 2) It appears that the Claimant is also out of time in filing their Witness Statment - the date of the letter from the court was 23 May 2018 and the letter enclosing the claimant's witness statements which I received is dated 20 June 2018. If we add 2 business days for deemed service and then add 21 days then the date by which the Claimant should have served their WS should have been 18th June 2018 Is that correct? 3) What should be my plan of action going forward? Should I serve my WS and documents regardless as the date of hearing as not yet been fixed? If so, can someone help me with drafting one? My main argument is that I was neither the driver or the registered keeper of the vehicle so that claim is against the wrong defendant. I have attached all the relevant documents and correspondence for reference. I would greatly appreciate if someone can advise me on what I should do in the current circumstances. Thanks in advance. Further documents... Further Exhibits attached to the Claimant's WS... Please see below the Defence that I had submitted: 1. The Defendant denies any liability whatsoever to the Claimant. 2. The Defendant denies being the driver and/or registered keeper of the vehicle at the time of the incident. The Defendant is not therefore liable for the claim and invites the court to give summary judgment pursuant to CPR Rule 24.2 against the Claimant as having no real prospect of success and there being no other compelling reason why the case should be disposed of at trial. 3. Notwithstanding paragraph 2 above, if the Claimant is intending to pursue this claim against the Defendant on the basis that the Defendant is the registered keeper then the Claimant has failed to show that the conditions for recovering this charge under Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 have been met. The Defendant disputes that any of the conditions necessary for a claim to be pursued against the keeper of the vehicle have been met. 4.a) Notwithstanding paragraph 3 above, no evidence has been provided to show a valid Notice to Driver was given to the driver in accordance with Paragraph 7, Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. 5. It is believed that the Claimant has no standing to bring this claim. The Claimant has failed to establish their legal right to bring a claim either as the landholder or the agent of the landholder. Strict proof is required that there is a chain of contracts leading from the landowner to the Claimant. Thus, the Defendant disputes that the Claimant has the authority to issue parking charges on the land in their own name and that they have any locus standi to bring this case. 6. If the driver on the date of the event was considered to be a trespasser, and not allowed to park on the land, then only the landowner can pursue a case under the tort of trespass, not the Claimant, and as the Supreme Court in the ParkingEye Ltd v Beavis [2015] UKSC 67 has stated, such a matter would be limited to the landowner themselves claiming for a nominal sum. 7. The Claimant might argue that the Supreme Court’s decision in Parking Eye v. Beavis is applicable. The Defendant will argue that the present case meets none of the conditions that the Supreme Court stated were required for a parking notice to be exempt from the well-established principle that penalty charges cannot be recovered. The main difference is that the Supreme Court determined that, in a retail park, there was a public interest in ensuring a turnover of visitors that justified a disincentive to overstay. there is clearly no such interest in a third party such as the Claimant in this case in attempting to impose conditions in a residential car park where there is no turnover of visitors and the vehicle was not parked in pay-and-display car parking. 8. The Defendant also disputes that the Claimant has incurred £50 solicitor cost and interest. The Particulars of Claim are spectacularly deficient and woefully inadequate to show a cause of action. 9. The Claimant has not complied with CPR Rule 16.4. The Particulars of Claim contains no details and fails to establish a cause of action which would enable the Defendant to prepare a specific defence. It just states “parking charges” which does not give any indication of on what basis the claim is brought. There is no information regarding why the charge arose, what the original charge was, what the alleged contract was nor anything which could be considered a fair exchange of information. The Defendant therefore asks that the court strike out the Particulars of Claim pursuant to CPR Rule 3.4(2)(a). 10. Finally the Claimant's Letter Before Claim dated 13th November 2017 did not fully comply with the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims. The Defendant responded to the Letter Before Claim on 08 December 2017. However, the Claimant did not give the Defendant at least 14 days' notice of their intention to start court proceedings pursuant to paragraph 8.2 of the said Pre-Action Protocol and issued proceedings without notice. jpg2pdf.pdf

Hi I recently made a claim for JSA on the 21 Sep 2009. I had previously made a claim which ended on 23 March 2009. When I called the JSA claim line I was quite certain that I had to make a new claim. However, the person who I spoke to actually advised me to make a rapid re-claim as I was within the 26 weeks period, so I went ahead with it. I was booked in with an appointment at my local jobcentre and I signed all the papers and was given my sign-on book and timings. Now I have received a letter from DWP stating that I have incorrectly completed the JSA4 form and in order to process my claim I need to complete a JSA1 (new claim) form. So I tried to calculate if I was actually within the 26 week period (182 days) and this is how I did it: March: 8 days (my claim ended on the 23rd March) April: 30 days May: 31 days June: 30 days July: 31 days August: 31 days September: 21 days (date of my re-claim) Total = 182 days Finally, if your last date to claim falls on a Sunday then what is the position? Will it be the next working day i.e. Monday - or would be expected to make your claim on Friday? Any guidance and comments will be very much appreciated. Thanks!!!
