    ostell Having gone through to the MCOL defence page on the website, i can only submit 122 lines of text, which the full defence is longer than.

    Would this work...

    I am X, the Defendant in this matter and was the registered keeper of vehicle X at the time of the alleged offence. I currently reside at X


    This is my statement of truth and my defence


    As an unrepresented litigant-in-person, I seek the Court's permission to amend and supplement this defence as may be required upon disclosure of the Claimant's case.


    For the avoidance of doubt on the relevant date, I was the registered keeper of a X.


    It is believed that it will be a matter of common ground that the purported debt arose as the result of the issue of a parking charge notice in relation to an alleged breach of the terms and conditions by the driver of the above vehicle when it was parked at X car park in X on 01/06/2019.


    Until the receipt of the Claim Form on the 12th November, I was unaware of any PCN.

    On 21st November 2020, I wrote to the Claimant requesting disclosure of their documents supporting their case. In line with the claimants CPR 31 duties. They must ensure that the document(s) requested are copied to and received by the defendant within 7 days of receipt of this letter

    A copy of this letter can be supplied along with the official Post Office receipt showing when this was posted.

    Without disclosure of their documents, I am unable to compile a fair and complete defence and request that the court order the claimant to produce their documents so that a proper defence can be prepared. This should be done entirely at their own cost.

    Without access to these documents, I would request the court reject this claim.

    Thank you

    OJ

      ostell ive actually worked out i don't need to get my defence in until the 10th, so apologies for getting a little panicked on the whole thing! If you can skim over the above skeleton and let me know if you think that's sufficient that would be amazing. It doesn't allow me to attach anything in the MCOL platform, so just allows me the 122 lines, which seems a little odd.

      Appreciate your help on this!

        You don't put your defence in on the form. create it in a word processor so that all the format is correct and then insert your signature and print off as a PDF file and send it as an email attachment to the court.

        Make a specific statement that the documents requested requested have not been received

          Thanks for the response ostell

          I'm a little confused as this is an MCOL process and I've not been summoned to attend court. I am not sure who I would email?

          If I find the right details for that would I include in the 122 line defence form that I have emailed my defence statement to whatever address I find so that they know where to look for it? I'm a little concerned that emailing them takes me off process, and although happy to follow your advice, I want to make sure it won't adversely effect my case

            No you write it as a document, forget the form. You email to the court. When they receive the email you get an acknowledgement.

            In the subject of the email you put Defence, case number name.

            Courts email guidance (justice.gov.uk)

              ostell that makes sense. I have the email address ccbc@justice.gov.uk which i will use to send the documents.

              I have the template of the defence statement so i will include that. Should i also attach the receipt from the post office along with the copy of the letters that i sent to CE? I can add these as appendix items.

                You are sending the defence, nothing else. Time later to add in the exhibits with your witness statement.

                You're confusing me why would you include a template? You send your defence as an attachment and nothing else. If it helps post it up here for critique before you send.

                    After 2 get in the fact that they have not responded with the documents and therefore you ask that the claimant submit the missing documents so that you can file an amended defence at the cost to the claimant. Basically get in early so the judge can stop at that point.

                    9 is not required, it is padding. You are asking for details to be provided.

                    7 (a) not required.

                    7 days of receipt of this letter. the letter

                    THere are a a few "I"s which should be defendant. There are some "defense"s in their instead of defence.

                    No doubt others will be along.

                        Hi ostell hope you've had a good weekend!

                        I am going to have to submit my defence tomorrow and wondered if you could find a few minutes to skim the defence statement i uploaded last week ad let me know if you think it is sufficient or if there are major parts missing?

                        If you can't find the time I totally understand and will just jet it off with fingers crossed

                        Regardless of that, i am truly thankful for your help up until now!

                          3 a not required. Exhibits are submitted with witness statement, later

                          4 forget about the litigant in person stuff, at the disclosure of documents, add at the end the cost of which to be paid by the claimant

                          7 merge with 4
