Watch this short video that explains the process for a typical
hearing:
HTML https://youtu.be/n93eoaxhzpU?feature=shared
Make sure you get there at least half an hour early to get
through security. Let the usher know you have arrived. If anyone
for the claimant approaches you and wants to discuss anything
before the hearing, politely decline and tell them that you will
leave it up to the judge. Although, I seriously doubt anyone
will show up for this from the claimants side.
Take extra paper copies of your WS and anything else you sent to
the court, as there is sometimes an attempt to ambush you by the
claimants representative to say they never received a copy of
anything. You can then simply hand over a prepared copy to them
and the judge, there and then.
Make yourself a single page list of bullet points you should
remember to talk about. Make it large typeface so you can easily
read it. Remember to ask for your costs if you are successful
and in the remote chance you are not, ask that you be relieved
from the claimants costs because of the Mazur unreasonable
behaviour where the claimants witness has admitted to conducting
litigation without authorisation. You can mention that you have
asked the claimants representative for clarification on who has
been conducting the litigation and have not received any
response, further exacerbating their misconduct.
Treat is as a valuable life learning experience. Please report
back whatever the outcome. Try and remember as much about is and
give us a report as it is valuable feedback for us.

Thank you ive done all that. Can you please see if this plan
below is good for tomorrow?
SMALL CLAIMS HEARING PLAN (NCP PCN) DATE: OCTOBER 8TH
1. Opening Statement
"Your Honor, I maintain this claim is fundamentally flawed and
discloses no reasonable cause of action due to the Claimant's
failure to comply with the Civil Procedure Rules and issues of
solicitor misconduct."
2. Core Legal Defence: CPR Non-Compliance (Priority 1)
- The Claimant's Particulars of Claim fail to meet CPR
16.4(1)(a).
- The claim is defective because it fails to state:
[li]The exact wording of the contract I am alleged to have
breached.
- The precise nature of the breach.
- Whether I am being pursued as the driver or the keeper.
[/li]
- I rely on the persuasive judgments in CEL v Chan and CPMS v
Akande, which confirm that claims with these flaws must be
struck out (dismissed).
3. Improper Conduct & Regulatory Issues (Priority 2)
- The Mazur Issue: The Claimant's paralegal, Ms. Safina Zubair,
stated in her Witness Statement that she "has conduct of this
matter." This contradicts the High Court ruling in Mazur & Anor
v CRS LLP, which makes conduct by a non-authorised person
improper.
- The Claim Form Issue: The Claim Form was issued under the name
of Mr. Ibrar Ahmad, who is registered with the SRA as a
solicitor at a different firm (Osbourne Pinner Ltd), not
Moorside Legal. I have reported this to the SRA.
- Summary: This constitutes a pattern of unreasonable conduct in
proceedings.
4. Conclusion and Request
- Primary Request: I respectfully request that the Court strike
out this claim pursuant to CPR 3.4(2)(a) and (b).
- Costs Request (If Successful): I ask for my costs under CPR
27.14(2)(g) for the Claimant's unreasonable conduct, referencing
the Costs Note I provided.
- Costs Request (If Unsuccessful): I ask that I be relieved of
the Claimant's costs due to their documented history of improper
conduct.

Keep those notes handy. You address a district judge as "Judge".
No "your Honour" or anything else.

❌ LOST HEARING REPORT: - October 8th, 2025
Outcome: Judgment for the Claimant (NCP). Ordered to pay £280
over 12 months.
Claimant Attendance: No one from NCP or Moorside Legal attended
the hearing.
Summary of the Hearing
1. Claimant Non-Attendance & Initial Comments:
- The hearing proceeded with only myself and the Judge, as the
Claimant's representative (Moorside Legal) did not attend.
- The Judge stated that Moorside should have sent an email
notifying non-attendance, but I confirmed I had received no such
communication.
2. Procedural & CPR Arguments (Defense Main Focus):
- Defective Particulars of Claim (PoC): I argued the PoC failed
to provide key details, including the sum breakdown and the
contract wording.
[li]Judge's Ruling: The Judge rejected this, stating that all
the missing specific wordings and necessary details were cured
by being included in the Witness Statement (WS). She was
satisfied the WS mentioned I was pursued as the keeper, the
nature of the breach, and the wording of the contract.
[/li]
- Case Law (CEL v Chan / CPMS v Akande): I cited these cases
where identical PoC failures led to strike-outs.
[li]Judge's Ruling: The Judge stated these were County Court
decisions and were therefore not binding on her court, and she
would not consider them.
[/li]
- Failure to File a Motion to Strike: The Judge noted that my
arguments were procedural, but I had not formally filed a
separate motion/application to strike out the claim. This
significantly undermined the procedural point.
3. Solicitor Misconduct & Regulatory Arguments:
- SRA Reports / Mazur Issue: I raised the Mazur point regarding
Ms. Safina Zubair having conduct and the SRA report regarding
the use of Mr. Ibrar Ahmad's name (a solicitor from another
firm).
[li]Judge's Ruling: The Judge dismissed this entirely, stating
that the SRA report was irrelevant to this hearing. Regarding
Mr. Ahmad, she found it "very likely" he worked for Moorside
when the claim was filed seven months ago and has since moved
firms, and she would not accept my lack of proof to the
contrary.
[/li]
- N180 Form & Tom Clough: I mentioned the N180 form being signed
only by 'Moorside Legal' and the contradictory information about
Mr. Tom Clough having conduct.
[li]Judge's Ruling: The Judge did not comment or give weight to
these specific points.
[/li]
- Relief from Claimant's Costs: I asked for the Claimant's fixed
costs to be relieved due to their conduct issues.
[li]Judge's Ruling: This was rejected.
[/li]
4. Factual Arguments (Parking):
- Denial of Driver / 13 Minutes: I mentioned I was not the
driver and the vehicle was only present for 13 minutes.
[li]Judge's Ruling: The Judge did not consider these points to
be material.
[/li]
- Signage: The Judge showed photos of the signage.
[li]Judge's Ruling: The Judge found the signage to be "legible
enough to be read," which satisfied the requirement for forming
a contract.
[/li]
5. Conclusion:
- The Judge concluded that my case was "not very well defended."
- Order: I was ordered to pay £280 to the Claimant over a
12-month period.
I feel quite defeated to be honest. I didn't have a great
understanding of my case and the judge was asking difficult
questions which I couldn't answer. Law is not my speciality and
I believe this made me lose the case.
This has put me off any appealing any other fines I may get to
be honest as from the information I was given it seemed that
this case was very easily won, but the outcome was very
different.
:(

I’m really sorry this went the way it did. Losing on the day is
bruising, especially when you’re there alone and the claimant
can’t be bothered to turn up.
This judge bingo… you had a shitty judge.
Because judgment has been entered, you now have two distinct
paths. If you pay the full judgment sum within one calendar
month of the judgment date (deadline 8 November 2025), no County
Court Judgment will be registered on your credit file. If you do
not clear the full balance within that month and instead pay by
instalments, the CCJ will be registered and remain for six
years, later marked “satisfied” only once the full sum is paid.
If preserving your credit file is important, pay the entire £280
by 8 November 2025 to the payee stated on the order (normally
the claimant’s solicitors or the claimant directly). Use a
traceable method (bank transfer with reference, or card payment)
and retain proof.
After paying in full within the month, check the public Register
of Judgments after approximately 2 to 4 weeks. If the CCJ
appears despite full payment within one month, contact the
Registry Trust to have it removed and write to the court with
evidence of timely payment asking them to notify the Registry
that the judgment was paid within the statutory one-month
period.
The deadline to file an appeal is 21 days from judgment. Your
time limit therefore expires on 29 October 2025.
To appeal, file an appellant’s notice (form N164) at the hearing
centre that made the decision, serve it on the respondent, pay
the appeal fee or apply for help with fees, and include a draft
of your grounds of appeal and the sealed order.
You will also need either the judge’s permission (which you can
ask for in N164) or permission from the appeal court. Appeals
are not a rehearing of the facts; you must show an error of law,
a wrong exercise of discretion, or serious procedural unfairness
that materially affected the outcome.
From what you recorded: the judge’s approach to treating thin
particulars as cured by the witness statement, her assessment
that signage was legible enough, her view that non-attendance
could be overlooked, and her factual findings on driver identity
and time on site are all case-management and fact assessments
squarely within a trial judge’s discretion, especially a shitty
one. County Court authorities such as CEL v Chan and CPMS v
Akande are persuasive, not binding. Absent a prior strike-out
application under CPR 3.4 or a timely application under CPR 24,
an appeal on those points has low prospects unfortunately.
I asked a family member today about this decision and showed him
the WS and evidence. He said he would have come to a completely
different conclusion.
You can still complain to the SRA about any concerns you hold,
but that will not set aside or vary today’s order.
I am as surprised and disappointed as you with this judges
decision. But as I said, it is judge bingo. You can a name the
judge so that we can be aware of her decision and track her for
other case if they crop up.

Thank you. It's quite unfortunate that NCP can have legal
representation that does not bother to come to the hearing and
yet still win the case.
With the payment, i've attached the letter. I want to double
check this will still register a CCJ to my name, just as I am
universal credit so I would rather pay monthly if possible but I
definitely dont want a CCJ for 6 years
If i were to pay upfront, I would need to contact moorside to
get bank information? as there is nothing on the letter.
