Well done !! Same as me great result ! I just wonder why they carry on additional month with you as they knew it’s not gonna get them anywhere it’s a double victory!! I wish we could all meet and have a pint

I really hope mate they drop it before it goes to actual hearing as it is not sustainable for them to pay solicitors to try to win odd 300£ off of you . I still have no idea why they drop mine. With your knowledge and the fact there was never any mention of driver compliance I am pretty confident there is no way they can achieve anything anyway .

Hi everyone Hope you all good . I have been away for a while . It’s been a month since I got a letter however for some reason I still feel bit uncomfortable. When I log in to MCOL it’s still shows nothing . There is no update on a case since they acknowledged my defence . Is that normal ? Are they ever gonna update the fact MET gave up on me and send me notice of discontinuance or do I have to call the court myself ?

I guess I am lucky or I live too far away and they couldn’t be bothered to pay for solicitors in case there will be possible hearing which is obviously held nearest to where defendant lives and I live far away from stansted hmm It’s concluded !! N279.pdf

I can email Stansted regarding bye laws in Southgate Road . But so far I was under impression that see below : car park operator at Stansted Airport cannot prove that the land around Stanstead Airport is not subject to statutory control under airport bye laws. So I understand if they cannot identify the driver they cannot rely on POFA right? In a letter reply to „lostthebrick „ from solicitors upon his CPR request what does it actually clarify? Does is clarify anything there ? There was a lot of pages uploaded by him but no one seemed to summarised Btw my PCN was delivered to me within 14 days but it’s gonna be irrelevant if that car park it’s covered by bye laws isn’t?

Cool

Hi there I have received reply from the court pls see attached. Did you get the same ? „Lostthebrick” ?? ACK of defence filing.pdf

I agree . But it does say if you don’t speak English then you can get one . My only worry is if I say I am not comfy defending in English and translator turns up to be even worse I will ring court and ask out of curiosity anyway let’s see what clerk advise

That’s my point . I haven’t got a problem talking English but when it comes to few „technical „ words it would makes life easier. So who pays for a translator I wonder ? Taxpayer ?

Well I guess it’s gonna be waiting game for both of us . As others mentioned earlier it takes court about 2-3 months for next step right? I wonder if I am foreign originally can I request on the actual hearing a translator? Does anyone know what is the law about it. I haven’t got a problem writing but when it comes to a physical hearing obviously I would feel more comfortable and confident with a translator. Hey ho . Why not ? That’s what I thought

Well it’s too late now . They have my name address and DOB . It did say additional details on form like phone number and email but it was not mandatory so I left it . I guess they have to contact me by post if anything now right? „lostthebrick” you did the same isn’t ?

Thank you that’s what I thought cheers

Hello guys just finishing MCOL defence and on page 5out of 7 asks for additional details. Do I provide my phone number or email to court or should just leave it blank as obviously they have my address and name thanks

I wonder if they send me reply as well most likely now you have got it . My one is for overstaying let’s see

Perfect thank you . Does it make a difference to wait until last minute to file it ? I guess not

1. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of [motor vehicle]. 2. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. The proper claimant is the landowner 3. It is denied that the Defendant breached any terms and conditions set on private land. 4. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant, or broke any such contract. 5. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all. Is that ok to send as defence in my case ? Whether I was overstayed it makes no difference right as my line of defence is against landowner ? Also in point 1 do I put make model and reg number ? Or just make and model thanks and Happy new year by the way

Hi Back from work finally. Just to reassure myself a bit can I pretty much use default defence template highlighting them 6 key points . Now do I print and post to that Civil National Business centre or email . Is that template ok on my overstayed PCN ? I guess in Stansted it’s always same case and same defence ?? Isn’t?

Good to know thank you . I usually go sleep around 3am lol A lot of it overwhelms me a bit I hope o won’t crumble lol if it gets to WS or the actual hearing though

I am reading a lot of threads at the moment so be in touch tmrw with couple of questions. I guess it’s bit late now .

thank you . I missed that link initially it’s a great text and there is a template that’s correct . If I was to use that template and point all 6 key things / points am I allowed to do it? Will I not be just another person who send exactly same defence to court ? Or is common that a lot of ppl just use same lines for defence.

Hi there Merry Xmas to everyone involved hope you had a good one . Now back to real life . I have send CPR to solicitors I guess I have to file the defence I have about a week until next Friday . Is that something you can help me with as you said earlier my case is slightly different as it was overstayed . Is there also a template ?

Can I just ask after you file defence what happens ? Do you have to go to actual hearing?

will do I guess I am overthinking it thank you

Obviously post it recorded I know. Also do I name that letter as actual abbreviation CPR 31:14 request ??? And the template itself is it ok to retype in similar way sentence after sentence? Hope it is though. Also there is this text in CPR template look below: Please treat this letter as my request made under CPR 31.14 for the disclosure and the production of a verified and legible copy of [each of the following / the] document(s) mentioned in your Particulars of Claim: WHAT DO I WRITE THERE PLEASE ???
