Hi i'm new to the forum and looking for some advice concerning the PCN i received from CEL, it is now at the stage where I have received a N149A form and need to fill in my directions questionnaire, the form seems straight forward enough to fill in but its my defence I need guidance with, also how long will I have to prepare a defence, the questionnaire has to be filed by the 30th October 2014.
Thanks |

I would do it differently
It's untidy as a both a process and the presentation of your defence It creates administration for the court and provides an opportunity for CEL to object to a new submission without paying a fee What you can do instead is present it the "proper" way When the time comes to provide your evidence pack you can send a Witness Statement (the story) and a Skeleton Argument (the legal points) You can work the extra defence points into these That way you come across as in control and following procedures - a more serious opponent for CEL Send the DQ to CEL on time A week or so after the deadline when you haven't received yours, ask the court to strike out the claim because they're ignoring the procedures At the very least, you've added another piece of "unreasonable behaviour" evidence when it comes to claiming your costs This post has been edited by Gan: Wed, 22 Oct 2014 - 08:33 |
