They have until 16th Jan to pay the hearing fee. Order is dated
15th December. For witness statements it says parties to file
these before 4pm [4 weeks]. Assume I have 4 weeks from 15th
December.
Claimant bundle then by 13th Jan.
For some reason I can’t upload the documents?

So the case will be discontinued on or before 16 January.
In the unlikely event that the fee is paid and DCB Legal submits
a Witness Statement, then you will have to do the same (submit a
Witness Statement, that is), but it’s 99% certain that they will
discontinue.
A defendant submitting a WS slightly late is generally
tolerated, should it come to that. But I bet it won’t.

Hopefully that is the case, I have just had the letter from them
saying they will accept payment of £60 which I think is standard
scare tactics!

We obviously can't offer any guarantees, but that's generally a
good sign.

Called the court to see what was happening and they confirmed
discontinued before HF was due. Thanks for all your help!
Also had another PCN where they didn’t do anything after the
defence so that one is sorted too!

Hi all,
I have received an issued claim form from DCB Legal. It has
pretty poor Particulars of Claim which I am almost certain do
not comply with CPR 16.4(1).
1. The Defendant is indebted to the Claimant for Parking Charges
issued to vehicle XXXXX at XXXX.
2. The date of contravention is XXX and the D was issued with
PCs by the D.
3. The D is pursued as the driver of the vehicle for breach of
the terms on the signs (the contract). Reason: Park for longer
than permitted.
4. In the alternative the D is pursued as the keeper pursuant to
POFA 2012, Schedule 4.
AND THE CLAIMANT CLAIMS
1. £170 being the total of the PCs and damages.
2. Interest at a rate of 8% per annum pursuant to s.69 of the
CCA 1984 from the date hereof at a daily rate of £.02 until
judgment or sooner payment.
3. Costs and court fees.
I was not the driver at the time. Their PoC do not provide
enough detail. I have filed my AOS and now have some time to
file my Defence. Could anyone help me with a Defence to file and
I think a strike out order as their PoC is deficient.
TIA

Hi OP, I have received the same claim form from DCB Legal. It is
almost word for word.
Shall I follow the same advice?
Does anyone need me to upload the Claim form?
