Ignore all the other forms that arrived with the claim. DO NOT
fill them out. With an issue date of 8th July, you have until
4pm on Monday 28th July to submit your defence. If you submit an
Acknowledgement of Service (AoS) before then, you would then
have until 4pm on Monday 11th August to submit your defence.
If you want to submit an AoS then follow the instructions in
this linked PDF:
HTML https://www.dropbox.com/s/xvqu3bask5m0zir/money-claim-online-How-to-Acknowledge.pdf?dl=0
Otherwise,
here is the defence and link to the draft order that goes with
it. You only need to edit your name and the claim number. You
sign the defence by typing your full name for the signature and
date it. There is nothing to edit in the draft order.
When you're ready you combine both documents as a single PDF
attachment and send as an attachment in an email to
claimresponses.cnbc@justice.gov.uk and CC in yourself. The claim
number must be in the email subject field and in the body of the
email just put: "Please find attached the defence and draft
order in the matter of Euro Car Parks Ltd v [your full name]
Claim no.: [claim number]."

> DEFENCE[/center]
>
> 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 comply with CPR
16.4.
>
> 3. The Defendant is unable to plead properly to the PoC
because:
>
> [indent](a) The contract referred to is not detailed or
attached to the PoC in accordance with CPR PD 16.7.3(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.[/indent]
>
> 4. The Defendant attaches to this defence a copy of a draft
order approved by a district judge at another court. The court
struck out the claim of its own initiative after determining
that the Particulars of Claim failed to comply with CPR 16.4.
The judge noted that the claimant had failed to:
>
> [indent](i) Set out the exact wording of the clause (or
clauses) of the terms and conditions relied upon;
>
> (ii) Adequately explain the reasons why the defendant was
allegedly in breach of contract;
>
> (iii) Provide separate, detailed Particulars of Claim as
permitted under CPR PD 7C.5.2(2).
>
> (iv) The court further observed that, given the modest sum
claimed, requiring further case management steps would be
disproportionate and contrary to the overriding objective.
Accordingly, the judge struck out the claim outright rather than
permitting an amendment.[/indent]
>
> 5. 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 for the Claimant’s failure to comply with
CPR 16.4.
>
> Statement of truth
>
> I believe that the facts stated in this Defence are true. I
understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought
against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false
statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without
an honest belief in its truth.

Thank you b789! As I hadn't seen any other reply as of last
evening, I found you had replied to an OP with this same
information, which I also followed and sent the email last
night. There was one slight change to the defence text as my
issue relates to the ticket being issued and not an overstay, so
modified para (d) to suit. The court letter is still as received
and has now been filed with all the other paperwork relating to
this issue.
Thanks again!

Further update having sent the defense text above I have now
received a letter an copy of the claimant form indicating that
they wish to proceed to court. I will file the directions
questionaires as and when they arrive and will attend court to
fight their claim. The letter received today was dated 02
September 2025, so has taken some 28 days to be processed
through their system. Good job I didn't have to reply within a
certain time frame, based on that date!

If the claimants copy of their N180 Directions Questionnaire
(DQ) has either been signed as "DCB Legal" or by a paralegal
using only their initial and last name, let me know immediately,
as you can get them on the back foot because they have not acted
lawfully.
If you can, please show us the signature page of their N180 DQ.

Can't see how to post a Jpeg attachment for the scan of the last

Notice of Proposed Allocation to the Small Claims Track received
today from CNBC Northampton. It had been delayed by Royal Mail
as no postage had been applied to the envelope and I had to pay
a penalty fee of £5 to get it delivered. I will now be invoicing
them for this amount plus interest payable on a daily rate.
Further the notice is dated 17-September-2025 and I had to have
replied by 4 October 2025, Right at this moment I'm on the phone
to them trying to speak to a human and have been waiting for 15
minutes to get to position #2. Evenetually spoke with a very
uninterested person who told me to return the form as quickly as
I can. Appalling service!
