Re: Court form received requesting financial details

b789 I have my claim number and have just emailed the court.
Though I couldn't do it in a single PDF attachment like you
suggested. I attached them separately. Does that make a
difference?
They said I had until 27th April to file my defence!
Thanks again for you and DWMB2's help. I'll keep you posted.

It's not rocket science to merge to separate PDF files into one!
You could have simply searched for a free online pdf app. I
recommend
HTML https://www.pdf2go.com
Anyway, it's too late now if you've already sent it.
Who is the "they" that said you have until 27th April to file
your defence? They are talking 'testicles' as no filing can take
place on a weekend or a bank holiday. 27th April is a Sunday. If
that was the date the "they" thought was your deadline, "they"
should have understood that the deadline would be 4pm Monday
28th April!!!!
I wouldn't trust the "they" who gave you that advice unless you
were told the "issue date" of the claim was Tuesday 8th April.
Was it?

Thanks for the link. I was in a hurry to email the documents
over, had to work today.
'They' are the people I called, the number you gave me. I don't
know the issue date. The lady on the line told me I had until
27th to file a defence.
Anyway, I'm glad it's all done for now. Was so stressed over the
weekend.

Hi!
I've received a letter from Moorside Legal after following your
advice.

They've also attached an N180 Directions Questionnaire about
mediation.
What should I do now?
Thanks

Whilst it is not a requirement to respond to that letter, I
suggest you do with the following by email to
help@moorsidelegal.co.uk and CC in yourself:
[quote]Your Ref: CARFLOW/28
Dear Sirs,
Re: Carflow Ltd v [Your Name] – County Court Claim No. [insert
number]
I write in response to your letter dated 28 May 2025.
I note your position but stand fully by my Defence. The
Particulars of Claim remain non-compliant with CPR 16.4(1)(a)
and are materially indistinguishable from those struck out in
CEL v Chan [2023] and CPMS v Akande [2024], which are persuasive
authorities directly relevant to this claim.
In the interests of saving court time and avoiding unnecessary
cost to either party, I make an open offer: that this claim be
discontinued with no order as to costs – a standard drop hands
resolution.
This offer is made on an open basis and may be shown to the
court on the issue of conduct and costs. If your client
unreasonably refuses this opportunity and the claim is struck
out or fails, I will rely on this letter in support of an
application for costs under CPR 27.14(2)(g) and the White Book
annotation at 38.6.1, which confirms that unreasonable behaviour
can justify a costs order even on the small claims track.
I also refer you to the Upper Tribunal’s comments in Willow
Court Management Company (1985) Ltd v Alexander [2016] UKUT 0290
(LC)
HTML https://www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKUT/LC/2016/290.pdf,
where it
was confirmed that:
[indent]“The fact that the conduct complained of takes place in
proceedings allocated to the small claims track does not mean
that it cannot be unreasonable. A party who behaves unreasonably
can expect to bear the costs of that unreasonable
behaviour.[/I]”[/indent]
If I do not receive confirmation of acceptance within 14 days,
this offer will be deemed rejected and withdrawn.
Yours faithfully,
[Your Name][/quote]
Regarding their copy of their N180 DQ, just follow this advice:
[quote]Having received your own N180 (make sure it is not simply
a copy of the claimants N180), do not use the paper form. Ignore
all the other forms that came with it. you can discard those.
Download your own here and fill it in on your computer. You sign
it by simply typing your full name in the signature box.
HTML https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/673341e779e9143625613543/N180_1124.pdf
Here are the answers to some of the less obvious questions:
[indent]• The name of the court is "Civil National Business
Centre".
• To be completed by "Your full name" and you are the
"Defendant".
• C1: "YES"
• D1: "NO". Reason: "[i]I wish to question the Claimant about
their evidence at a hearing in person and to expose omissions
and any misleading or incorrect evidence or assertions.
Given the Claimant is a firm who complete cut & paste parking
case paperwork for a living, having this case heard solely on
papers would appear to put the Claimant at an unfair advantage,
especially as they would no doubt prefer the Defendant not to
have the opportunity to expose the issues in the Claimants
template submissions or speak as the only true witness to events
in question.."
• F1: Whichever is your nearest county court. Use this to find
it:
HTML https://www.find-court-tribunal.service.gov.uk/search-option
• F3: "1".
• Sign the form by simply typing your full name for the
signature.[/indent]
When you have completed the form, attach it to a single email
addressed to both dq.cnbc@justice.gov.uk and info@dcblegal.co.uk
and CC in yourself. Make sure that the claim number is in the
subject field of the email.[/quote]

I've just emailed Moorside Legal exactly as you've suggested.
I haven't received my own N180 yet. Moorside just enclosed
Carflow's form in the letter they sent me. Shall I just download
the form as you suggest or wait until the court send me my own
and then download the form.
Would the next stage be mediation if they continue to pursue the
claim?
Thanks

You can simply download your own N180 and complete it now. Just
don't send it until you either receive your own postal version
or check your MCOL history and when it says that yours has been
sent, just send your prepared one by email as advised.
Yes, mediation will be next but this is not part of the judicial
process and there is no judge involved. I tis just a formality
and your only requirement is to "attend" the call. You simply
offer £0, don't get into any discussion about your defence and
it will be over in minutes.

I've now received a mediation date for the end of the month. If
I offer £0 and I go to court, what are the chances of me
winning? I read another case on here and the gentlemen did
exactly that and lost. I don't mean to be negative, but I'd like
to weigh up the probabilities.
Thanks

If you're "weighing up probabilities", then the odds of this
going all the way to hearing and you losing are about 1% or
less.
