Re: UKCPS Parking NTK ( Postal -PoFA) issued on private land
Mak Court WF13 4AF

It’s not too late to ask for costs – especially where the court
has only just made (and you’ve only just received) the
strike-out order. The order is dated 24/27 October 2025 and
strikes the claim out under CPR 3.4. The 7-day bit in paragraph
2 is only about any party applying to set aside/vary the order.
That window has obviously long expired now.
There is no equivalent 7-day limit for you to ask for your
costs. The court retains power to deal with costs after
proceedings have been concluded (CPR 44.2). The usual
expectation is simply that you act promptly and within a
reasonable time, which you are.
So, send the email with your signed Schedule of Costs attached,
and copy Moorside in. Here’s an updated version now that you
have this more detailed order:
--- Quote ---
> Subject: M1MP6F3K – UKCPS Ltd v [Defendant] – Order dated
24/27 October 2025 (strike-out under CPR 3.4) – costs
>
> Dear Sir or Madam,
>
> I write as the Defendant in the above claim.
>
> [indent]1. By General Form of Judgment or Order dated 24/27
October 2025, District Judge Robinson struck out the Claim
pursuant to CPR 3.4, on the Court’s own motion, on the basis
that the Particulars of Claim were defective under CPR 16.4 and
did not identify the contractual term alleged to have been
breached or the particulars of conduct amounting to any breach.
>
> 2. Paragraph 2 of the Order allows any party to apply to set
aside, vary or discharge it within seven days of service. That
period has now expired. I have not been served with any
application by the Claimant and I understand from the Court file
that no such application has been issued. I therefore proceed on
the basis that the strike-out is final and the proceedings are
at an end.
>
> 3. In light of the reasons given by the Court (defective
pleadings and the need for the Defendant to know the factual
case to answer from the outset), I submit that the Claimant has
acted unreasonably in bringing and pursuing the claim in this
way. I therefore seek my costs of and occasioned by the claim.
>
> 4. I attach a Schedule of Costs setting out the time I have
spent as a litigant in person (claimed at £24 per hour) and my
modest disbursements. I respectfully ask the Court to summarily
assess those costs pursuant to:
>
> [indent]• CPR 27.14(2)(g), on the basis of the Claimant’s
unreasonable conduct; and/or
> • CPR 44.2 and the Court’s general case-management powers,
given that the claim has now been struck out under CPR
3.4.[/indent]
>
> 5. I would be grateful if the Court could deal with this
request on the papers if it considers that appropriate. If a
brief witness statement exhibiting this Schedule and the
relevant orders would assist, I will provide it
promptly.[/indent]
>
> Yours faithfully,
>
> [Your name]
> Defendant
> [Address]
> [Email]
>
> CC: help@moorsidelegal.co.uk (Moorside Legal, for the
Claimant)
> Attachment: Schedule of Costs – [Your name]
