3 private parking tickets being pursued for all 3 and had a ccj claim made

[b789]

@Barbudaprince, yes, they are allowed to be given more time.

What is happening is case management. If the judge considers that you have not been properly served with detailed particulars, or that the case cannot be fairly heard on the current pleadings, the court has wide discretion to give the claimant an opportunity to correct that.

This is quite common where the judge thinks the case would be procedurally unfair to proceed today.

The key points for you:

1. The judge is not deciding the merits yet. They are effectively pausing the case to ensure both sides are on equal footing.
   
2. The claimant being given time to file and serve proper Particulars does not mean they are “winning” anything. It just means the court wants a properly pleaded case before determining it.
   
3. What matters now is the order the judge makes. Listen carefully (or ask for clarification) on:
   
4. The deadline for the claimant to serve the detailed Particulars on you and the court.
   
5. Whether you are given permission to file an amended defence or further witness statement in response.
   
6. Whether the hearing is adjourned and relisted.
   

If possible, ask the judge to confirm that once the new Particulars are served, you will have an opportunity to respond. That is important.

This is not unusual, and it is not something to panic about. It is actually the judge recognising that the case was not properly set up to be heard today.
