Re: Letter from Courts - URGENT

Hello,
Appreciate the advice, and I will look out for that
correspondence.
Apologies if this appears a silly question, but I would be
grateful if you could enlighten me on the purpose of the N180
form?
Thank you

The purpose is to provide the court with the necessary
information to process your case.

Hello Moderators,
Have received acknowledgement from CNBC, of receipt of my
defence forwarded via MCOL.
They state
"A copy is being served on the claimant. The claimant may
contact you direct to attempt to resolve any dispute. If the
dispute cannot be resolved informally, the claimant will inform
the court that he wishes to proceed. The court will then inform
you of what will happen.
Where he wishes to proceed, the claimant must contact the court
within 28 days after receiving a copy of your defence. After
that period has elapsed, the claim will be stayed. The only
action the claimant can then take will be to apply to a judge
for an order lifting the stay."
I have a problem in that I will be away from UK for 5 weeks from
November, and am not sure what impact that will have on the
normal process from this point on. I certainly do not want the
Parking firm to win due to my absence!
(Do the documents forwarded to you earlier this month highlight
any aspects that could be used in a witness statement?)
Would be grateful for your advice on how I should proceed.
Many thanks again for all you do.

You will eventually receive your N180 Directions Questionnaire
(DQ) and you can put down in that form ny dates you will not be
available over the next 6 months.

Thank you, B789, your quick response is appreciated.
I'm concerned that if the N180 form does not arrive in the post
before end of this month, I may not have the means to inform the
court system. (I'm hoping the email address would be used for
the purpose).
When I checked via MCOL today there was no response yet from
other side. Not sure if the MCOL system can be used for
informing of my non-availability?

You don't have to actually wait for the form to arrive. Once the
MCOL history updates to say yours has been sent, just send yours
following the advice here:
[quote]Having received your own N180 (make sure it is not simply
a copy of the claimants N180) or been notified on MCOL that
yours has been sent, do not use the paper form. Ignore all the
other forms that came with it. you can discard those. Download
your own N180 DQ here and fill it in on your computer. You sign
it by simply typing your full name in the signature box.
HTML https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/673341e779e9143625613543/N180_1124.pdf
Here are the answers to some of the less obvious questions:
[indent]• The name of the court is "Civil National Business
Centre".
• To be completed by "Your full name" and you are the
"Defendant".
• C1: "YES"
• D1: "NO". Reason: "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.."
• F1: Whichever is your nearest county court. Use this to find
it:
HTML https://www.find-court-tribunal.service.gov.uk/search-option
• F3: "1".
• Sign the form by simply typing your full name for the
signature.[/indent]
When you have completed the form, attach it to a single email
addressed to both dq.cnbc[member=6517]justice[/member].gov.uk
and info@dcblegal.co.uk and CC in yourself. Make sure that the
claim number is in the subject field of the email.[/quote]
So, you don't have to wait for your form to arrive. You can
download the form now, fill it in and just email it when your
MCOL history updates to show yours has been sent.

Hello b789,
This is a quick update to let you know that I have been checking
MCOL daily, but it has thus far not updated anything after my
submission was recorded. I am leaving tomorrow morning, and
will be away until early December.
Shall keep on checking MCOL site, and am hoping both parties
will email rather than resort to the post. (CNBC's recent
letter dated 10/10 is post-marked 14/10). Very much aware my
N180 is yet to be submitted - especially with information of
which dates I will not be available for any mediation that could
be proposed.
In the meantime, thanks for your advice and guidance.
