Response after from ES parking after filling in defence form.

[legalnooby]

I filled out my defence on line and have received this today. Is this a good idea to submit just on the papers? At no point have I had the opportunity to show my pictures or upload them.

My gut is I should push for a proper hearing.

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Many thanks.

We act for the Claimant and have notified the Court of our Client’s intention to proceed with the claim.

Please find attached a copy of our Client’s completed Directions Questionnaire, which will be filed with the court upon their request. You will note we intend to request a special direction that the case be dealt with on the papers and without the need for an oral hearing

This request is sought simply because the matter is in our Client’s opinion relatively straightforward and the costs incurred by both parties for attending an oral hearing would be disproportionate.

You will note our Client has elected not to mediate. Its decision is not meant to be in any way obstructive and is based purely on experience, as mediation has rarely proven beneficial in these types of cases. Notwithstanding this, our Client would be happy to listen to any genuine payment proposals that you wish to put forward.


Yours sincerely

You object to this and want a hearing in your own court. Search on here and the Pepipoo forums for a latter to answer that request. On paper is to your disadvantage as they can throw in extra details without you being aware.
