Hi Ericsbrother thanks for the reply. Hi thanks for the reply

Hi guys I have now received small claims directions questionnaire. Below are various issues I want to address and let me know if I would be right by answering this way. 1. I am not agreeing for small claims mediation service. Is that ok. 2. Should I agree for small claims track allocation, if not then why? 3. Should I agree for small claims track as appropriate track or should I say no and give reasons? My reasons for this would be that it’s not my only case but it involves other 40 to 50 residents in the apartment who can’t bring their car to drop their family or pick them up who could be toddlers, elderly and frail or may be sick. 4. Can I ask for hearing at Brentford county court as that is the nearest one to me. 5. What should I say for expert evidence? - yes or no 6. What should say about witnesses I can ask my neighbours under what circumstances sometimes we have to bring our cars on to the road as it is the only road leading to our entrance and the neighbourhood is known for antisocial activities? They might be happy to sign the document as a witness. Kindly advise on the above raised issues. According to the letter I have to respond back to the court by 24 October 2016.

Hi guys what do you think the next step would be?

Hi Dx100, As expected I received the below email saying that CPR 31.14 does not apply to small claims. I also forgot to mention that they did not respond to CPR 31.14 in my defense statement. Kindly advice. Thanks Sri Phoebe McClean Attachments11:03 AM (2 hours ago) to me Mr [name removed] Please note CPR 31.14 does not apply to claims on the small claims track. All evidence our Client wishes to rely on will be in their witness statement. Kind Regards Phoebe Litigation Assistant Gladstones Solicitors Limited

Cheers DX100 Thanks for the reply. Lets wait and see what ahppens next. I am up for it and will fight till end because I genuinely beleive that its unfair that i have been given the charge. Kindly let me know if there is any deadline for me to reply to this email and the forms they have sent. I would also like to object for a hearing based on paperwork. I would like to be personally present for the hearing. kindly advise. Thanks Sri

The defence I filed was based on the letter suggested by yourself. I had to file the defense otherwise the judgment would be given in my absence. whats your next suggestion as i couldn't get it from your reply. Thanks Sri

Hi DX100 and Erics brother, I am forwarding the email I received from the solicitors after I filed the defense going online yesterday. They never replied back to me regarding the request I made asking for their authority to claim the charges in their name and the permission for the signage. In between I also reeived a letter from Zenith (a third company) asking for a settlement and saying that they were responsible for the claim. As i was getting closer to the defence date I had to file the defence. Below is the defence I filed yesterday: In the County Court Claim No.: ******* Between Parking and Property Management Limited (Claimant) and S D (Defendant) ___________________________________________________________________________ Defence Argument ___________________________________________________________________________ [removed - dx] Kindly see the defense I have filed yesterday by going online Today I received a reply (email) back from the solicitors. Kindly have a look at it and suggest. Below is the email and I have attached the documents which came along with the email. Thanks Dear Mr S D, Parking and Property Management Limited -v- Mr SD 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 y Administration Assistant Gladstones Solicitors Limited N180 - Directions questionnaire (Small Claims Track) - with special direction.pdf

Hi ericsbrother, I have now been sent a claim form. Kindly advice me how to proceed. If the case goes to court will I be charged more then what the claimant is claiming for in the form. I have decided to fight the case. Kindly guide me accordingly and let me know we're to start from. Thanks srinivas

Dear Ericsbrother; Hope you are ok. I have now received my first letter from the parking and Property Management Ltd . I am attaching the letter. Kindly advice me accordingly.

Hi Erics brother and silverfox, thanks for your advice. I will wait for the letter to come. The property lease does not give the permission to park as there is no parking space allocated to this property. This road is the only road leading to the entrance of the property. Thanks Sri
