HELP! Moorside Legal-Court Claim-Defence due
DIR By: ElleLamps
Date: May 1, 2026, 4:15 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
I received a parking ticket back in 2024, which I ignored, and
now court proceedings have been issued against me by Moorside
Legal.
I followed the general advice on here, and filed a defence to
their scant Particulars of Claim, stating that there were
deficient. I also made no offer at mediation. The matter has
been referred back to court, and a judge ordered Moorside legal
to serve an updated Particulars of Claim, which they have done.
I now need to draft a defence, and need some advice on how to
respond.
Background to the claim: My vehicle was parked on land
controlled by PCM, not in a bay. The driver was there for a few
minutes making a food delivery as part of their job. No ticket
was placed on the car, but a NtD was posted to me, and then
followed up with a NtK.
Moorside has provided a contract with the landowner, but it is
dated AFTER the date of the parking ticket. They also have
incorrectly stated that a ticket was place on the car, when it
wasn’t.
Are you able to advise how to respond to the new Particulars of
claim? The defence must be filed and served by 12 May 2026.
Thanks

So that we can properly advise, please show us the Exhibits that
Moorside refer to in their updated particulars.
Please also show us the order made by the judge, so that we can
see if they have sufficiently met its requirements.

"but a NtD was posted to me, and then followed up with a NtK."
Can you post up a copy of these?

In terms of terminology, there was no Notice to Driver, which
would have been attached to the car, but a Notice to Keeper
followed by a reminder follow-up notice.
--- Quote ---
> 7(1)A notice which is to be relied on as a notice to driver
for the purposes of paragraph 6(1)(a) is given in accordance
with this paragraph if the following requirements are met.
>
> (2)The notice must—

> (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was
parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates;
>
> (b)inform the driver of the requirement to pay parking charges
in respect of the specified period of parking and describe those
charges, the circumstances in which the requirement arose
(including the means by which it was brought to the attention of
drivers) and the other facts that made those charges payable;
>
> (c)inform the driver that the parking charges relating to the
specified period of parking have not been paid in full and
specify the total amount of the unpaid parking charges relating
to that period, as at a time which is—
>
> (i)specified in the notice; and

> (ii)no later than the time specified under paragraph (f);
>
> (d)inform the driver of any discount offered for prompt
payment and the arrangements for the resolution of disputes or
complaints that are available;
>
> (e)identify the creditor and specify how and to whom payment
may be made;
>
> (f)specify the time when the notice is given and the date.
>
> (3)The notice must relate only to a single period of parking
specified under sub-paragraph (2)(a) (but this does not prevent
the giving of separate notices each specifying different parts
of a single period of parking).
>
> (4)The notice must be given—
>
> (a)before the vehicle is removed from the relevant land after
the end of the period of parking to which the notice relates,
and
>
> (b)while the vehicle is stationary,

> by affixing it to the vehicle or by handing it to a person
appearing to be in charge of the vehicle.

The NtK does not specify a “period of parking” for one thing.
It would help significantly is the separate posts above were
also labelled, it’s a huge pain having to look at each one to
find the NtK, for example, and I suspect many people will give
up.

I am drafting the defence to this today, as it needs to be
served by Tuesday, so any help with this would be greatly
appreciated.
SO, I see that there were two NtK. Does that mean that they
can't pursue the keeper, becuse a NtD was not served?
Also, there is not period of parking, but the photos have
different times on there. Would that not count?

There is no requirement to serve a Notice to Driver, in fact the
majority of companies don’t.
A Notice to Keeper is sufficient, and if it complies with the
legislation it can be used to transfer liability from the
unknown driver to the registered keeper.
Providing pictures without explicitly stating a period of
parking doesn’t comply, for example.

Great, thanks.
The PoC specifically state that a NtD was affixed to the car.
This is factually incorrect. The date they say it was placed on
the car is also incorrect on the PoC (24 March 2024 when the
incident was in November 2025). I wonder if the PoC can be
attaked on that basis, and what other routes there may be to
avoid keeper liability.
I've also noticed that the date the landowner authority to
Parking Control Management was signed (23.04.25)post dates the
alleged parking infringement date, so I'll argue that they have
no authority to pursue the case in their name.

Absolutely, their revised particulars of claim being
significantly incorrect needs to form part of your defence.
Especially when their initial boilerplate nonsense was thrown
out by the court, they had an opportunity to get it right and
didn’t.
