Re: Parking Eye & now Country Court Judgement. 4 minutes lat

Here is an update on my court application, which was submitted
18th August 2025. I have not yet heard from the Court regarding
a hearing date. But today I received an email from Parking Eye
with correspondence in regards to a Court Order dated 11th
October 2025. I assume they were asked to submit evidence. They
submitted a copy of my appeal form. Their response seems to be
to justify sending the Claim Form to the correct address for
service under CPR 6.9...
From Parkingeye.
"As per the court order dated 11/10/2025, please find attached
the Claim Form, which was served by the CNBC on the address that
was provided by you within your internal appeal to Parkingeye.
Parkingeye stance is that all Civil Procedure Rules have been
abided by in the serving of the Claim Form, and we provided the
CNBC with the appropriate address at the time of the parking
event. The CNBC then served the claim form directly to this
address".
...I did give the Uk address on their appeal form when using
their online appeal service in April 2024, as I was in the UK at
this time. I will have to wait and see, as their is plenty of
evidence to show I reside overseas and was overseas when the
Claim Form was posted... fingers crossed!

There is no way that the claimant will have been ordered to
provide something without you, the defendant being copied in.
So, do no assume anything. If you have not seen any notice of
the supposed order dated 11th October for ParkingEye to submit
further evidence, the there is a very serious problem.
Here is what you must do immediately:
1. Get a copy of the missing order
[indent]• Email and phone the CNBC quoting the claim number and
your N244 filed 18 Aug 2025.
• Ask for: (a) a PDF of the 11 Oct 2025 order; (b) current
status and any deadlines/hearing; (c) how/where the order was
served; (d) confirmation that enforcement is stayed; (e) whether
the file is at CNBC or transferred.
• Request that any deadline runs from the date you first receive
the order and that all future orders be served by email and to
your overseas address.[/indent]
2. Cover yourself on timing
If the order imposes deadlines you couldn’t meet because you
never received it, ask CNBC to confirm the deadlines run from
the date of (re)service. If necessary, request a short extension
under the court’s case management powers.
3. Reply to ParkingEye
Acknowledge receipt, state you’ve not received the order, that
you’ve asked CNBC for it, you dispute service, and your
application is under CPR 13.2 (mandatory) and 13.3 (fallback),
with a CPR 7.5/3.4 strike-out once judgment is set aside. Ask
them to re-send what they filed and, if they have it, the PDF of
the 11 Oct order.
Send the following email to the CNBC at
Applications.CNBC[member=6517]justice[/member].gov.uk and CC
CaseProgression.CNBC[member=6517]justice[/member].gov.uk,
ParkingEye and yourself:
[quote]Subject: Claim [claim no.] – N244 issued 18/08/2025 –

CC: Claimant
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am the Defendant. I issued an N244 on 18 August 2025 seeking
(i) set-aside under CPR 13.2 and/or 13.3 and (ii) strike-out
following set-aside under CPR 7.5/3.4.
I have not received any court order. Today the Claimant emailed
asserting there is a Court Order dated 11 October 2025. Please
email me a PDF copy urgently.
Please also confirm:
[indent]1. The status of my application and any listed hearing
or deadlines.
2. The date, method and address of service of the 11/10/2025
order, and weather service failed.
3. That enforcement is stayed pending determination of my
application.
4. Whether the file remains at the CNBC or has been transferred
(and if so, to which court).[/indent]
I respectfully request that any time limit in the 11/10/2025
order runs from the date I first receive that order (by email
today). Please also serve future orders by email and to my
overseas postal address:
[indent][Overseas address]

Yours faithfully,

[Claim no.][/quote]
Also send the following email to ParkingEye and CC yourself:
[quote]Subject: Claim [claim no.] – Your email re order dated
11/10/2025
Dear Sirs,
I acknowledge receipt of your email. I have not received any
court order and have asked the CNBC to email me a copy of the
purported order dated 11/10/2025.
For clarity, I do not accept your characterisation of service.
At the time of purported service (March 2025) I was resident
overseas. My application seeks a mandatory set-aside under CPR
13.2 (defective service under CPR 6.9/12.3), in the alternative
CPR 13.3, and strike-out following set-aside under CPR 7.5/3.4.
Please re-send, by return, (i) the documents you say you
filed/served pursuant to the order and (ii) a PDF of the
11/10/2025 order if you hold it.
Yours faithfully,

Thank you for your speedy reply. I am currently doing as
advised. The case was transferred on 24th September to another
local County Court to deal with the application. It is this
court I assume has sent the Court Order. I am sending the email
to them and copying the others as advised. The email I received
today was due to being a CC recipient on Parkingeye's email
response to the local court with the copy document attached. I
have now just spoken on the phone at CNBC and was told that the
letter sent to the Claimant was only for their response, and
nothing was sent to me, and no response from me is required
currently. A note of my call was made on my file. I have also
sent the emails, with slight amendments. Strange that it is
being referred to as a Court Order, when perhaps it is simply a
letter/email sent!

Once a case is transferred, CNBC is no longer relevant. Service
and directions are the local court’s job. If a judge/Legal
Adviser made an order requiring the claimant to do X, that order
must be served on all parties (CPR 40.2, PD 23A). If PE are
waving an “order” you don’t have, that’s a service failure that
can prejudice you.
Email the local County Court (the receiving court) now, CCing PE
and yourself:
[quote]Subject: Claim [no.] – Order dated 11/10/2025 not served
on Defendant – urgent re-service and confirmation requested
Dear Sir,
I am the Defendant. The claim transferred to your court on
24/09/2025. Today the Claimant emailed the court and copied me
referring to a “Court Order” dated 11/10/2025. I have not been
served with any such order.
Please urgently:
[indent]1. Email me the PDF of the order dated 11/10/2025 (or
confirm if it is a letter/direction rather than a formal order).
2. Confirm how and when it was served and on which
address/email.
3. If it was served only on the Claimant, please re-serve it on
me by return and record email service for all future orders
(email: [your email]) and use my overseas address for postal
service: [overseas address].
4. Confirm that any deadlines in that order run from the date of
service on me (today), given I was not previously served.
5. Confirm the status of my N244 filed 18/08/2025 (set-aside
under CPR 13.2/13.3 and strike-out post set-aside under CPR
7.5/3.4), including any hearing date/listing.[/indent]
For the avoidance of doubt: I was resident overseas at the time
of purported claim service; my application is a mandatory
set-aside under CPR 13.2, in the alternative 13.3. Please place
this email before the judge if needed.
Yours faithfully,

I have today received a PDF copy of the Court Order from the
local County Court.
It is headed "General Form of Judgment or Order".
It goes on to say....
Upon transfer-in from the CNBC;
And upon reading the Defendant's Application notice dated 18
August 2025;
WITHOUT NOTICE,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
1.(a) The Claimant shall send evidence of service in accordance
with CPR Part 6 to the Court and to the Defendant by no later
than 4pm on 14 November 2025.
(b) The evidence may be sent to the Defendant by email at the
address given in her application dated 18 August 2025 (email)
2. If the Claimant fails to provide evidence in accordance with
paragraph 1, the claim shall be struck out. -

The order is good (in your favour) but it can go either way—so
be ready to argue it.
The risk
If ParkingEye show the MCOL claim was served by the court to the
UK address they supplied (which matches the V5C keeper address)
and they had no reason to think that address wasn’t current, a
judge may treat that as valid service at your “last known
residence” (CPR 6.9). That’s the claimant’s best point.
Your counter
“Residence” means where you live, not what’s on the V5C.
Ownership/registration ≠ “usual or last known residence”
at the date of service. You were continuously overseas Oct
2024–May 2025.
Reasonable steps (CPR 6.9(3)): If a claimant has any reason to
doubt the address, they must take reasonable steps to check
(soft trace, email confirmation, etc.). Your case gives them
several prompts:
[indent]• All earlier dealings were email/online (PE and POPLA).
• Silence to a Letter Before Claim and/or claim pack is a common
trigger to check before default.
• It would have been trivial to email the address they’d been
using to confirm a service address before issuing.[/indent]
Service by the CNBC doesn’t cure a bad address. The court posts
to the address the claimant provides; the claimant bears the
risk if that address isn’t your usual/last-known residence at
service.
If PE rely only on “it matched the V5C” but cannot show (i) that
address was your residence in March 2025 or (ii) reasonable
steps to verify it, then CPR 13.2 (mandatory set-aside) still
bites.
Fallback remains CPR 13.3 (you have a real prospect: you paid;
PoC alleging “no payment” are wrong; unfair/unclear ANPR-entry
term).
What to watch for in their “evidence of service”
[indent]• What address did they give CNBC, and why was it your
usual/last known residence at service?
• What steps (if any) they took under CPR 6.9(3) before default
when you didn’t respond by post.
• Any claim that you actually received the pack in time (you
didn’t).
• Any reliance on the April 2024 appeal form (months earlier,
not proof of residence at service date).
Bottom line
[indent]• PE will likely argue V5C = last known address →
valid service.
• Your reply: I didn’t live there at service; you knew/should
have checked; you had email; you didn’t verify; service was
invalid → CPR 13.2 mandatory set-aside.
• And even if a judge were to accept service as valid, you still
have a strong CPR 13.3 defence and, after set-aside, a CPR
7.5/3.4 strike-out point if the claim form effectively expired
without valid service.[/indent]
Given the order you’ve got (they must prove service by 4pm 14
Nov 2025 or the claim is struck out), you’re in a good
procedural spot. Keep your overseas-residence proof ready and
wait to see what they file.

Hello again and hoping all is well with you.
I have just received a copy of the Claimants Application
Response, sent to the court with their written submissions and
asks the court to note that the application is opposed. (The
hearing date is 16th March 2026).
So I am now re-visiting my notes/paperwork and your very helpful
comments here.
They have, as expected relied on DVLA and my online appeal in
April 2024 to provide evidence that they served at the correct
address. (The UK address).
Reasonable Steps (DPR 6.9(3))
They show a copy of my online POPLA appeal in April 2024.
Stating I confirmed this was my address. (My UK address is
entered in the Personal Details, although everything was being
dealt with online and by email). Also that I responded to the
“Letter Before Claim” sent by post, dated July 2024. (I don’t
remember doing this, but if I did respond, I would have likely
used the online service for this. They have not provided
evidence of my response. Nearly all of their evidence showing
correspondence to me from April 2024 is clearly showing it was
sent to me by email!
They have not offered comments relating to any steps taken to
check the address was correct for service, despite there being
no response from me when the Claim Form was sent to my UK
address in March 2025.
They are opposing the “Promptness”. Stating it was delayed by
four months… Of course I have submitted firm evidence to show
the reason for this delay - I was not in the country when the
papers were served, and my residential address is overseas.
Obviously a lot of other mentions opposing my application.
Nothing really very valid in my humble opinion! I will be ready
to respond to it.
They have included images of the signage to show the fees
payable for parking. It is not the same sign that was on site
when I parked, and now includes the wording “tariffs payable up
until midnight of day of arrival”. Clearly resolving the issue
of there being no network coverage on site and even nearby in
this City. (Well known for having no network coverage in the
centre). This was the very reason for my delay in making the
payment and then relying on the parking app to send
notifications of the time left. Now it is clear you have plenty
of time to pay so long as you make note of your hours manually.
The hearing is being held via a video platform.
Thank you

Hello there,
I partly won!!
I just wanted to thank you again for all the help you gave me
for my court hearing (via video), which has taken place today. I
managed to succeed with a set aside under CPR 13.3. In hindsight
now that I am not so nervous! I should have stood my ground with
the good reasons and evidence I had for CPR 13.2. They did not
have a strong case against me. They provided no reasons for not
checking my address was correct at the time of service, but
relied on the address from DVLA etc. I feel I could have done
better, but it was all a bit overwhelming, when it shouldn't
have been.
Nevertheless, I now have the opportunity to submit another
defence within 21 days.
I couldn't have achieved this without your help.
But seriously, 4 minutes outside the timeframe (due to their
ineffective payment system) and they will take it this far!
Lots of thanks you's
Rebecca
