Quote:Claim No: [second claim number]
Related Claim No: [first claim number]
Parties: [Claimant] v [Defendant]

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please find enclosed the Defendant’s completed Directions Questionnaire in respect of the above claim.

The Defendant also respectfully draws the Court’s attention to the fact that this is a second claim issued by the same Claimant against the same Defendant concerning the same vehicle and the same location, namely Aspire Leisure Centre, Stanmore, whilst a previous claim is already live under claim number [first claim number].

The Defendant’s position is that this later claim is duplicative and abusive. It appears that the Claimant, a serial bulk litigant acting by solicitors who issue parking claims in bulk, has chosen to split matters across multiple separate claims rather than bring them together, if at all. That approach places the Defendant under unnecessary additional burden and is contrary to the proper and efficient conduct of litigation.

The Defendant respectfully asks that this letter be placed on the court file and that the Court note the existence of the earlier live claim when considering directions and allocation in this second matter.

Yours faithfully,

[Defendant’s name]
