Now I am clear - I send the questionnaire to
info@elmslegal.co.uk, and not to the DCB legal email. Correct?
Thanks

Yes, apologies, cut/paste error. We get ground down by DCB Legal
but in this case it’s someone else.

Hello guys,
Thanks for your all the support so far dealing with this case.
I attended the mediation call and rejected the mediation offer
(they asked for £200). I then received a "Notice of Transfer of
Proceedings" from CNBC to local County Court.
Today I received a "Notice of Allocation to the Small Claims
Track (Hearing)", hearing is provisionally scheduled for January
2026 at local county court.
There seems to be standard directions in this letter, with a
note that claimant has to pay the Trial fee to court by 02nd
January. All other points seem to be standard.
What is my next course of action? As per the letter I will be
advised a day before whether the hearing is going ahead as
planned or if there is any change.
And also to submit copies of all documents and statements to all
parties no later than 14 days before the hearing.
How do I proceed now? What should I do?
Would you need to see a copy of this notice OR it's a standard
copy?
Kind Regards

Worth showing us a copy just to check there's nothing untoward
on there that you might have missed.

All standard stuff. You can bet that DCB Legal will discontinue
just before the deadline for them to pay the £27 trial fee.
Nothing else for you to do now unless you receive a copy of a
Witness Statement (WS) from DCB Legal (unlikely), in which case
we would need to see it and would advise on how to produce your
own.
AS requested above, please show a copy of the Notice of
Allocation with all the order points, just incase there is
something out of the ordinary.

I couldn't find the attachment option (I did it few months back
but looks like there has been a change on the forum). Anyways
searched and found the guidelines hence put it up on the drive.
Hope it works and you are able to access it.
Let me know if you can't then will find another solution.
Thanks a lot.

That's good. All as expected. This will be discontinued just
before they are required to pay the £27 trial fee.

They are pursuing the case further.
I have got the a document pack in post from them. It contains
lots of documents - photographic evidences, all the reminders, a
defence statement, site plan of restrictive parking (this site
plan is not displayed at the parking) etc.
They have also included my appeal (I identified as the driver)
which I sent earlier before the legal proceedings, and I think
that's my mistake. They have used contents of my appeal in the
defence statement.
What are the next steps for me? Is there any hope for me or it's
a gone case?
What part of the legal pack I should share here to help prepare
my response?
Thanks and Happy New Year.

I have scanned key documents - witness statement, copy of my
appeal, and exhibit JB1 - with personal details redacted and
have put them on g drive.
Witness Statement (WS)
HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/1r8jO6D0Nq5xF3vP1nFmI1hymb4VxDSF_/view?usp=drive_link
My Appeal
HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VsdTNy4RsSZQIH-0oDBiK5GezjThW6EK/view?usp=drive_link
Exhibit JB1
HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z8TEd5hiHKqncuq283Sq-7xXPoAoMdow/view?usp=drive_link
Key highlights I noticed:
1. WS point 5 and 6 - claiming prominently displaying the
signages but they were not. Parking restriction signage was on
the adjacent pillar (only on that pillar) and not on the pillar
driver parked. They might think that one signage covers the
entire row but it would be quite confusing to the user.
2. WS point 6 - included a site plan but that site plan was not
displayed in the parking site i.e. not visible
3. WS points 13, 19, 20, 21, 22 - using my appeal against the
defendant.
4. WS point 19 - mentioning that parking restriction sign was
displayed "near" where defendant parked car. It's not exactly
sign was displayed where car was parked. It was near. And that's
seen in the photographs also. They do not have any photograph of
the sign displayed on that pillar where car was parked. It's
only on the adjacent pillar only. I am not sure whether this
will hold any value in my defence but one can argue the sign was
"near", and not exactly at the spot.
"Claimant would note that the sign showing that parking is
restricted to E-Permit holders only can be seen in the
contravention photographs taken when the parking charge was
issued, near where the Defendant had parked their vehicle and
therefore would have been visible to the Defendant."
Please help with my response and way forward.
Do I need to submit my statement to the courts before the
hearing OR I need to make the statement at the hearing? Hearing
is scheduled for 30th Jan.
Regards

I thought t this was a DCB Legal issued claim but I see that it
is Elms Legal, which is why it was not discontinued. You need to
call Reading county court on 0118 987 0500 and confirm that they
have paid the £27 trial fee.
We need to see the cover letter that came with that bundle. Jake
Burgess invariably states in the cover letter that he may not
attend the hearing (he ever does) and that is often his
downfall.
Every page is numbered and there are over 40 pages in that
bundle from what I can see. Where is their landholder contract
that proves standing to operator and issue PCNs at the location?
So, you need to show us everything that came with that
bundle/WS, including the cover letter. Also, show us the
Particulars of Claim (PoC) as all the previous images have been
deleted.
