Judgement for Claimant (in default) - Gladstones Sol. - Parking
for Patrons whilst on the premises only
DIR By: Lynch004
Date: May 14, 2026, 7:08 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi all,
I was hoping someone could assist me
As it stands Judgement has been passed, defence was struck out
because defendant has not replied to the claim for.
Defendant acknowledges the DQ N180 was filed late but as soon as
the became aware of the Judgement Order. Defendant is adamant
that they never received a Notice of Proposal Allocation to
Track.
From my own uneducated point of view the claimants case handling
has been poor to the point where I question if it was
intentionally.
I have bullet pointed the Case History in an attempt to make it
easier to understand. Further details will be present on the
correspondence. This will follow tomorrow as I have had to
redact and also blank out defendants comments.
In summary, I guess what we would like to know is…
Is it worth trying to get the case set aside? Can the fee
required to forward an N244 and to try and have the case set
aside be claimed back if successful, and would this have to be
filed as a counter claim.
If the Court allow for the Judgement to be set aside, what are
the chances of contesting the claim successfully?
MCOL Status
Claim was issued 03/12/25
Defence submitted 27/12/25
Defence received 29/12/25
Correspondence
• 03/12/25 Claim Form from CNBC.
• 29/12/25 Letter from CNBC to Defendant acknowledging receipt
of Defence. A copy is being served on the Claimants Sol. The
court will then inform the defendant on what will happen next.
Where he wishes to proceed the claimant must contact the court
within 28 days after receipt of defence.
• 13/02/26 from Gladstones the Claimants Solicitor.
State they have notified the Court of the claimants intention to
proceed.
Please find enclosed a copy of the claimant’s completed
Directions Questionnaire, which has also been filed with the
Court.
The DQ N180 was blank and it obviously wasn’t filed with the
Court as MCOL states it was filed on the 03/02/26. Three weeks
after Filing a blank N180 and 30+ days after defence being
served.
• 01/02/26 Acting in good faith the Defendant contacted the
Claimants Solicitors via email (exhibit) Advising that the DQ
N180 they had provided was blank and that they were open to
mediation.
• 09/02/26 Claimant provides a copy of their completed DQ N180.
With no instruction or response to any of the concerns the
defendant raised.
MCOL status
03/02/26 Case Stay lifted
03/02/26 DQ sent to you
03/02/26 DQ filed by claimant
Correspondence
• 18/03/26 General Form of Judgement/Order letter. Which states
“the Defendant, you have been sent Notice of Proposal Allocation
to Track which specified the date by which you were required to
return the Directions Questionnaire. You have failed to file the
Directions Questionnaire with the CNBC by the date specified in
the Notice.” been sent a Notice of Proposal Allocation to Track
which specified a date for them (Defendant) to return.
It is ordered that the Defendant must file the DQ with the CNBC
on or before 7 days of this service.
Defendant is adamant that they never received the Notice of
Proposal. As the Defendant works away, they only became aware of
the General Form of Judgement upon returning home on the
27/03/26.
Defendant still does not know the actual date they were required
to file the DQ N180 originally.
• 27/03/26 Defendant emailed the DQ N180 to both parties on the
27/03/26. Receiving automatic responses from both parties
informing them that the Email had been received.
The Defendant regularly checked MCOL for an update and concerned
that MCOL had not been updated called the CNBC number. The
automated system stated that it could take upto 10/11 weeks for
them to respond to emails. Although not ideal, this allayed the
defendants concerns about the lack of update on MCOL.
• 20/04/26 Defendant received Judgement for Claimant (in
default) dated 20/04/26. The judgement stated that the defendant
had failed to reply to the claim form.
Defendant has since called the CNBC number and they still could
not find the Filed DQ N180 but that it was irrelevant as it had
not been filed in time.
Defendant was told they had to pay the Fee stated in the
Judgement or pay £313 and complete an N244 asking for the
judgement to be set aside.

Thanks in advance.

You should consider the payment deadline to avoid a 6 year
credit record. As long as you pay within 1 month you can get the
judgement removed from the register.
If you can demonstrate the court’s mistake in handling your
case, for example claiming a lack of response whereas you have
confirmation of its submission and acceptance, you should be
getting the court to reopen the case at no expense to you.

Thank you for that. So would the defendant need to pay the £313
fee to set aside and counter claim if the case is reopened? or
not be required to pay the fee?
What are your thoughts on the claimants process handling.
They contacted the defendant with in 14 days but provided a
blank N180 as a claimants completed DQ. They stated that this
had also been filed with the court.
DQ Questionnaire wasn't actually file with the court until 3
weeks later and upon the defendant 4 weeks later (so a week
later than the court).
I am of opinion that if the defendant had not emailed them
querying the blank N180 they would not have been aware of the
failure in the process.
The MCOL history states the Case stay lifted, is this because
the claimant requested it, or is this just common case
terminology?
Sorry for all the questions, they may not be relevant at this
stage if indeed relevant.
Does anyone else have any additional advice?
Thanks
