Thank you very much once again and my apologies for my delayed
reply. I will wait until I see my own N180 on the MCOL website
although it took me a while figuring out how to get on their
website and sign in. I ended up scrolling up the pages and
although I managed to find out, I have lost how I did it again.
I have so much going on and trying to keep up with everything is
mission impossible in my small numb brain of mine.
Will keep you updated once I hear back.

It doesn't matter if you just wait for the paper form to arrive
in the post. All you have to do right now is download the form,
complete and save it, ready for emailing as soon as the paper
one arrives in the post. Should take all of 5 minutes and then
an extra 20 seconds to send it when ready.

Hi,
Driver can't fit this text in the D1 SECTION of the N180 DQ
form. Tried to reduce the font by copy and paste on to word
document and transfer it over but still it won't fit.
The writing is:
"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"
Can you please advise what can be done about this?
Driver hasn't heard anything back from the claimant/dcbl but
driver followed your advice and was trying to prepare the
document and save it for when it needs to be actioned, until
they stumbled across this issue.
In addition, does the driver skip Section E altogether? Which
box in F2 does the driver tick please?

Section E is required. Read Section A.

That wording definitely fits if you use Helvetica (or similar)
9pt font. I have used it many times with no issue. If you are
trying to use the form's built in text box... don't! Just
overlay a text box and use the font size I advise.
As for each section, you have to complete it, even if it just
means ticking "NO".
Are you going to hire an "expert witness" (F2)? I seriously
doubt it. This is not rocket science!
You are the "defendant". The defendant is the Keeper. Unless you
are also going to advertise that the Keeper was also the driver
when there is no legal obligation to do so, then why do you
mention "[i]In addition, does the driver skip Section E
altogether? Which box in F2 does the driver tick please?[/I]"
The N180 is basically an administrative for they use to decide
what size room they would need it this ever reached a hearing
with a judge. It never will. Just so as you get some inkling of
what is involved in a county court hearing like this is it were
to ever go as far as a hearing, just watch this short video
which explains what the "judges chambers" is:

I'm awfully sorry but I don't know how to do this. I have even
asked a colleague to help out to "overlay a text box with the
font you advised". I don't have membership for the acrobat pdf.
My computer literacy is basic.
Would it be easier if I print it off, hand write it then scan it
and upload and send it when and if the time comes?
Also I completed the E section with giving my details phone
number and email. I ticked the rest of the boxes in E Section
all as NO.
I've also noticed this on the MCOL account. What does this
mean?[img]

Just put this in the box then:

directions, and requests that the case be listed for an oral
hearing at the defendant’s home court, pursuant to CPR 26.2A(3

Thank you for the reply. I'll put that text in instead:
"The Defendant opposes the Claimant’s request for special
directions, and requests that the case be listed for an oral
hearing at the defendant’s home court, pursuant to CPR 26.2A(3)"
I attached a copy of the mcol screenshot in my previous post
showing that the claimant filed a DQ but driver has not received
anything as yet on the website nor in the post.
Is this the stage where driver EMAILS their N180 to the
claimant? If so, would that be on the MCOL website or who do I
email it to? Smart parking or dcbl...?

And the driver doesn’t do anything, you’re the registered keeper
or the defendant.

UPDATE!
Driver has received an email from HM Courts & Tribunals Service
which have arranged a "Telephone Mediation Appointment" next
month; "FORM EX750". What should the driver do or say to defend
their case and not be pressured to pay?
This is what they are saying:
1- Introduction from the mediator
The mediator will introduce themselves and check that you have
read and understood the mediation process.
2- Explaining your position
You will need to briefly explain your claim or defence to the
mediator. You should prepare for yourself a brief summary of the
main points.
3- Negotiating options
You’re attending mediation with a view to settling your case.
This means negotiating to overcome disputed issues. The mediator
is neutral and helps each party to explore options and discuss
risks. Mediation works when you’re willing to listen to what the
other party has to say, negotiate, and agree a settlement.
4- Building agreement
Settlement can be in many different forms, for example, payment,
goods, or work. Both parties must agree on the outcome and feel
they have reached an acceptable resolution.
5- Reaching a settlement
The mediator will read the terms of the settlement and confirm
agreement with each party. Once agreed, the settlement is
legally binding and cannot be changed. A copy of the mediation
settlement is sent to both parties and placed on the court file.
6- Confidentiality
All mediation appointments are confidential. An agreed
settlement includes a standard confidentiality clause.
· Ending the mediation process
The mediator can end the mediation if, at any time:
· either party breaches the terms on which they agreed to
mediation
· there is no prospect that the mediation will end in
settlement.
· the mediator deems it inappropriate to continue in the case
that one or both parties are vulnerable users.
· either party asks to end mediation
Delegation of authority to mediate.
Only complete the delegation of authority form if you will like
someone to take the mediation call on your behalf it becomes a
legally binding contract with important legal consequences.
Filling out this form means you authorise your representative to
agree on your behalf. If they agree to a settlement, you’ll be
legally bound by the terms of the agreement.
1. What is your claim number?
2. What is your name?
3. What is the name of the person to whom you are delegating
authority?
4. What are their contact details?
Email
Phone
5. I agree that the person I’ve given authority to can suggest a
resolution for this case. If both parties agree to the proposed
settlement, I’m willing to be legally bound by the terms of that
agreement.
