"You are now waiting for allocation to your local county court
and then there will be case management orders were, hopefully,
the claim will be struck-out or further particulars ordered. You
do not need to submit a WS yet and, knowing how this is likely
to go, it will eventually be discontinued before they have to
pay the £27 trial fee.
Patience."
Hi [member=26]b789[/member], [member=103]DWMB2[/member],
[member=428]H C Andersen[/member] et all ...
So I have now received this Notice of Allocation:

I guess I need to prepare a WS. Would you have any kind words of
advice?

No need to prepare any WS yet, or at all as this is still going
according to plan. That order tells you that you will receive
another notice with a hearing date and deadlines for submitting
documents such as WS and any evidence.
These are the two important bits to note:

When you have been notified of the hearing date, DCB Legal will
be required to pay the hearing fee no later than about a month
before that date. You still would have until 14 days before the
hearing if were to ever progress that far.
They will not pay the hearing fee and will discontinue just
before then. You should receive a copy of an N279 Notice of
Discontinuation from them. Once we know the deadline for their
payment of the hearing fee, if you have not received the N279 by
that date, you can call the court the next day to verify whether
they have paid or discontinued. If they don't py, the claim is
automatically struck out.
In the extremely unlikely event that they do pay, then you would
still have approx 2 weeks to submit a WS and you certainly don't
want to submit yours before they submit theirs.
Patience!

Hi
Hi [member=26]b789[/member], [member=103]DWMB2[/member],
[member=428]H C Andersen[/member] et all ...
Hope all's good.
I received a letter last week confirming that my case had been
transferred to Croydon Court and that a hearing date had been
scheduled. To the best of my recollection, I believe it was set
for 14 November 2025.
Apologies for seeming uncertain—I had kept the document aside,
ready to scan and upload, but my little niece visited and
enthusiastically did a Sunday spring clean. Unfortunately, I
can’t find the letter now and suspect she may have thrown it
away. However, I did read it, and I recall it mentioning a
hearing date in November, probably 14 November or something.
Is there anyway to get another copy of that letter from the
court? Or better still, is it documented somewhere?
My MCOL recent transactions look like this:
•
•
21:34:16
•
08:05:12
•
•
•
•
•
•
Also, I recall here you wrote:
“When you have been notified of the hearing date, DCB Legal will
be required to pay the hearing fee no later than about a month
before that date. They will not pay the hearing fee and will
discontinue just before then. You should receive a copy of an
N279 Notice of Discontinuation from them. "
Is this indeed the case?
I ask, because I have been getting some odd random phone calls
from DCB Legal, which I have been refusing to engage with.
What is this about? And will they likely not pay the fee and
discontinue the case?
Any thoughts or insights would be grateful.
Yours
LemonTootski

Once the case is transferred to your local court, the MCOL no
longer has anything to do with it. You will have to make contact
with the court where it has been transferred to and ask them for
the derails and a copy of the order with the dates. It does seem
a little unusual to have a dat set so far in advance.
You absolutely must find out when the hearing is set for and the
submission deadlines and anything else that was on the order.
DCB Legal will not discontinue until just before the hearing fee
deadline. So, if the case set for November, eight months away,
you won't know about any discontinuation until around a month
before the hearing date.
Get in touch with the court and see if they'll send you a copy
of the order. We need to see the whole order as there may be
directions in it that will also affect sates and requirements on
the claimant as well as you.

@b789 ...I nearly took your advice literally, and asked the
Court for the "derails" of the order - thinking 'derail' was
some legal jargon !
"... and ask them for the derails and a copy of the order with
the dates. "
:D :)

Hi @b789, @DWMB2, @H C Andersen et all....
So i received the N172, and it's a bit confusing. Although the
claim was transferred to CROYDON on 22/01/2025, the N127 Notice
of Trial date says it would be heard at RCJ in Strand ?
Is it normal for a mere parking case to be heard on THE central
administrative location for justice in these higher courts. What
happened to Croydon County Court? Is this normal?

Secondly, I received this email from the claimant:

The transfer from Croydon to the RCJ is normal (in London). RCJ
functions as an overflow court for outlying County Courts like
Croydon. The aim is to reduce backlog and expedite listings by
pooling resources in a central venue.
While the Royal Courts of Justice are typically associated with
High Court and appellate matters, they do have County Court
hearing rooms and are increasingly used as an administrative hub
for civil work in the South East, including small claims
hearings.
Considering the offer from DCB Legal arriving at the same time,
you can already see their desperation. I would place a £100 bet
on them discontinuing before they have to pay the trial fee.
Have bit of fun with them and send the following in response:

for £0.00, with no admission of liability, on the basis that the
claim is formally discontinued and confirmation is provided that
no further action will be taken.

proceedings unilaterally, I would consider that a satisfactory
conclusion.
