Apologies.
It was on the reverse.
Sarah Ensall signed the N1SDT.
The copy N180DQ you mentioned also. I shall have to edit certain
pieces of info first & post later.

In which case, you should send the following email to
info@dcblegal.co.uk and CC yourself:
[quote]Subject: Claim [Claim No] – N1SDT Claim Form Signature
and Directions Questionnaire (N180) signed “DCB Legal”:
authority to conduct litigation, signature validity, service by
email, and regulatory notice
Dear Sir/Madam,
I refer to (i) the N1SDT Claim Form signed by Sarah Ensall and
(ii) the Directions Questionnaire (N180) filed/served in this
matter. The N180 DQ is signed only “DCB Legal” with no named
individual and purports to be signed on behalf of the Claimant’s
solicitor.
Please confirm by return:
[indent]1. Whether Ms Ensall and The N180 DQ signatory’s full
name (forename and surname), their role, and whether they are an
authorised person within the meaning of the Legal Services Act
2007 with current rights to conduct litigation (provide SRA or
CILEX number and practising status). If not authorised,
2. The precise exemption relied upon under Schedule 3 of the
Legal Services Act 2007 that permits this individual personally
to conduct litigation and sign these documents in these
proceedings (if relying on a court order, provide the sealed
order; if relying on an enactment, identify it
precisely).[/indent]
For the avoidance of doubt:
[indent]• Preparing, signing, filing, or serving a Directions
Questionnaire is an act of conducting litigation, a reserved
legal activity.
• Practice Direction 22 requires the signatory’s full name and
capacity when signing on behalf of a party; a firm’s name or
initials alone are not sufficient for verification of
authorisation.
• Following Mazur v Charles Russell Speechlys LLP [2025],
unqualified employees may assist but cannot themselves conduct
litigation unless authorised or exempt.[/indent]
Action required:
[indent]• Confirm the above within 7 days.
• Re-file and serve a compliant N180 personally signed by an
authorised (or exempt) individual, with their full name and
capacity clearly stated. Please also identify the individual who
signed the accompanying covering letter and confirm their
authority.[/indent]
Costs and regulatory notice:
If any document was signed by a person not authorised or exempt,
or must be re-filed/served to correct the signatory’s
identity/status, I, as a litigant in person, will treat this as
unreasonable conduct. In line with Mazur and CPR 27.14(2)(g), I
will invite the Court, in its discretion, to order the Claimant
to pay the Defendant’s costs caused by your firm’s irregular
conduct and, if appropriate, to consider wasted costs against
representatives.
Further, carrying on a reserved legal activity without
entitlement is a criminal offence under the Legal Services Act
2007. If any unauthorised conduct of litigation has occurred, I
will report the matter to the Solicitors Regulation Authority
without further notice and reserve the right to place this
correspondence before the Court.
Yours faithfully,

You gave them 7 days to comply. Today is only day six. They have
until the close of business tomorrow to respond!
If no response by close of business tomorrow, then you can send
a follow up:
[quote]Subject: Claim [Claim No] – Day 7: Unauthorised N1SDT
signature (Ms Sarah Ensall) and non-compliant DQ (N180)
Dear Sir/Madam,
Primary issue – N1SDT signature (reserved legal activity):
My email of 1 October 2025 asked you to confirm whether Sarah
Ensall is an authorised person with a current right to conduct
litigation (Legal Services Act 2007). You have not responded.
Preparing and signing the N1SDT (claim form/statement of truth)
constitutes conducting litigation, a reserved legal activity. If
Ms Ensall is not authorised (or personally exempt under Sch 3
LSA 2007), the signature is invalid and the claim was improperly
verified contrary to CPR 22 and PD22. Following Mazur & Anor v
Charles Russell Speechlys LLP [2025] EWHC 2341 (KB), unqualified
employees may assist, but may not themselves conduct litigation
unless authorised or exempt.
Secondary issue – DQ (N180) signature:
Your N180 is signed only “DCB Legal”, with no named individual
or capacity, contrary to PD22. Preparing/signing/filing/serving
a DQ is also conducting litigation.
Action required within 48 hours:
[indent]1. Authority: For Ms Ensall and the DQ signatory,
provide full name, role, and regulator (SRA/CILEx number and
practising status). If not authorised, identify the precise
exemption under Sch 3 LSA 2007 relied upon (or supply any sealed
order).
2. Cure the N1SDT defect: File and serve a replacement statement
of truth for the claim form/particulars personally signed by an
authorised (or exempt) individual, stating their full name and
capacity, with written confirmation that it supersedes Ms
Ensall’s signature.
3. Cure the DQ defect: Re-file and serve a compliant N180
personally signed by an authorised (or exempt) individual,
stating their full name and capacity; also identify the
signatory of any covering letter and confirm their authority.
4. Service and filing: I accept service by email. Serve the
corrected documents by email to [your email] and file them at
court (e.g. CE-File). Confirm (i) the date/time and method of
service on me, and (ii) the date/time and method of filing at
court (or provide the CE-File receipt).[/indent]
Should you fail to comply:
Absent satisfactory confirmation and compliant re-verification
within 48 hours, I will, without further notice:
[indent]• Apply for directions and sanctions, including an
unless order that the claim be stayed or struck out if a validly
authorised statement of truth for the N1SDT/particulars and a
compliant DQ are not filed/served within 7 days of the order
(CPR 3.1, 3.4, 22).
• Seek costs for unreasonable conduct under CPR 27.14(2)(g)
and/or wasted costs under s.51 Senior Courts Act 1981 / CPR
46.8.
• Place this correspondence before the Court and report the
matter to the SRA. Carrying on a reserved legal activity without
entitlement is a criminal offence under the LSA 2007
(ss.14–17).p[/indent]
Please acknowledge safe receipt and confirm the position.
Yours faithfully,
[Your name][/quote]
