Defamation Claim

[Riannabri]

I have received a Money Claim for Defamation through moneyclaims.service.gov.uk for £5,500. I have evidence to enable me to deny or Counterclaim although my understanding was Moneyclaim.gov can not be used for Defamation/Libel/Slader and that its a High court process?

Correct, at least not without the written consent of both parties.

See CPR 2.9 (1) https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/pr...t07/pd_part07a

The problem with it is that nobody at Moneyclaim Online vets the claims so you need to write to the claimant and tell them to discontinue the claim, otherwise you'll apply to have the claim struck out and hold him liable for the £255 application fee.
