You don't fill in any of the forms. I have given you
instructions on what you need to do in my previous post. You
just need to log into your MCOL portal and submit an
Acknowledgement of Service (AoS) or, if you do not need extra
time to file your defence, just copy and paste the defence
provided above.

I've checked everywhere but I don't see an option for logging
into MCOL or having a previous account. Can anyone point me to a
link that I can do this?
thanks

Defence and Counterclaim
Claim number
ClaimantG24 Limited
Defendant
How much of the claim do you dispute?
I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.
Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it?
No, for other reasons.
Defence
1. The Defendant denies the claim in its entirety. The Defendant
asserts that there is no liability to the Claimant and that no
debt is owed. The claim is without merit and does not adequately
disclose any comprehensible cause of action.
2. There is a lack of precise detail in the Particulars of Claim
(PoC) in respect of the factual and legal allegations made
against the Defendant such that the PoC do not adequately comply
with CPR 16.4.
3. The Defendant is unable to plead properly to the PoC because:
(a) The contract referred to is not detailed or attached to the
PoC in accordance with PD 16, para 7.3(1);
(b) The PoC do not state the exact wording of the clause (or
clauses) of the terms and conditions of the contract (or
contracts) which is/are relied on;
(c) The PoC do not adequately set out the reason (or reasons)
why
the claimant asserts the defendant has breached the contract (or
contracts);
(d) The PoC do not state with sufficient particularity exactly
where the breach occurred, the exact time when the breach
occurred and how long it is alleged that the vehicle was parked
before the parking charge was allegedly incurred;
(e) The PoC do not state precisely how the sum claimed is
calculated, including the basis for any statutory interest,
damages, or other charges;
(f) The PoC do not state what proportion of the claim is the
parking charge and what proportion is damages;
(g) The PoC do not provide clarity on whether the Defendant is
sued as the driver or the keeper of the vehicle, as the claimant
cannot plead alternative causes of action without specificity.
4. The Defendant submits that courts have previously struck out
materially similar claims of their own initiative for failure to
adequately comply with CPR 16.4, particularly where the
Particulars of Claim failed to specify the contractual terms
relied upon or explain the alleged breach with sufficient
clarity.
5. In comparable cases involving modest sums, judges have found
that requiring further case management steps would be
disproportionate and contrary to the overriding objective.
Accordingly, strike-out was deemed appropriate. The Defendant
submits that the same reasoning applies in this case and invites
the court to adopt a similar approach by striking out the claim
due to the Claimant’s failure to adequately comply with CPR
16.4,
rather than permitting an amendment. The Defendant proposes that
the following Order be made:
Draft Order:
Of the Court's own initiative and upon reading the particulars
of
claim and the defence.
AND the court being of the view that the particulars of claim do
not adequately comply with CPR 16.4(1)(a) because: (a) they do
not set out the exact wording of the clause (or clauses) of the
terms and conditions of the contract which is (or are) relied
on;
and (b) they do not adequately set out the reason (or reasons)
why the claimant asserts that the defendant was in breach of
contract.
AND the claimant could have complied with CPR 16.4(1)(a) had it
served separate detailed particulars of claim, as it could have
done pursuant to PD 7C, para 5.2, but chose not to do so.
AND upon the Court determining, having regard to the overriding
objective (CPR 1.1), that it would be disproportionate to direct
further pleadings or to allot any further share of the Court’s
resources to this claim (for example by ordering further
particulars of claim and a further defence, with consequent case
management).
ORDER:
1. The claim is struck out.
2. Permission to either party to apply to set aside, vary or
stay
this order by application on notice, which must be filed at this
Court not more than 7 days after service of this order, failing
which no such application may be made.
Signed
I am the Defendant - I believe that the facts stated in this
form are true
Address to which notices about this claim can be sent to you

Good morning everyone,
I’ve now received an email from DCB Legal
(bulklitigation@dcblegal.co.uk) following the submission of my
defence. Here’s what they’ve said:
“Having reviewed the content of your defence, we write to inform
you that our client intends to proceed with the claim.
In due course, the Court will direct both parties to each file a
directions questionnaire. In preparation for that, please find
attached a copy of the Claimant's, which we confirm has been
filed with the Court.
Without prejudice to the above, in order to assist the Court in
achieving its overriding objective, our client may be prepared
to settle this case - in the event you wish to discuss
settlement, please call us on 0203 434 0433 within 7 days and
make immediate reference to this correspondence.
If you have provided an email address within your Defence, we
intend to use it for service of documents (usually in PDF
format) pursuant to PD 6A (4.1)(2)(c). Please advise if there
are any limitations to this.”
They’ve also attached a draft N180 Directions Questionnaire
(Small Claims Track), which they say has already been filed with
the court.
A few questions for guidance:
Should I be filling out my own N180 form now, or wait until I
receive the official one from the court?
Is it normal for DCB Legal to send their copy directly like this
before the court’s instructions arrive?
Should I respond to their “settlement offer” or just ignore that
part completely?
Finally, should I reply to confirm my email address can be used
for future correspondence, or stay silent?
I haven’t responded to them yet — just wanted to check with you
all before taking any action.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

You can check your MCOL history and when it updates to show that
your N180 DQ has been sent, you can apply the following:
--- Quote ---
> Having received your own N180 (make sure it is not simply a
copy of the claimants N180) or been notified on MCOL that yours
has been sent, do not use the paper form. Ignore all the other
forms that came with it. you can discard those. Download your
own N180 DQ here and fill it in on your computer. You sign it by
simply typing your full name in the signature box.

Thanks for the detailed guidance — really helpful.
Just to confirm, I haven’t actually received anything from the
Civil National Business Centre yet. The only N180 I’ve got is
the Claimant’s draft version that DCB Legal emailed to me.
Should I wait until the court sends me my official N180 (or it
shows as “sent” on MCOL) before I complete and submit my own
version?
I just want to be sure I don’t send it prematurely.
thanks

Yes. Either wait for yours to arrive in the post and then follow
the advice or as soon as your MCOL updates with the info it has
been sent, then you can email yours in.

Why are you filling in a paper form. I gave you the advice on
how to download and fill in on a computer. You have left some
obvious Yes/No tick boxes. This is not rocket science to
complete a simple form.
No need to use paper. Simply complete the PDF form on your
computer and attach it as a single email addressed to both the
court and thee claimants solicitor. No dead trees, no trudging
to the post office, instantaneous delivery and evidence of
receipt y the court and of sending to the claimant.
