DO NOT SETTLE IT BUT FIGHT IT

The recent appeal judgment of Civil Enforcement v Mink Tak Chan underscores the significance of strict adherence to the Civil Procedure Rule 16.4(1(e) and the Practice Direction 16. 7.5 in cases related to unpaid parking charges. The appellant challenged that the claim form did not meet these requirements. While an initial attempt to overturn a default judgment was unsuccessful, the appeal was granted based on potential non-compliance with the Practice Direction. The crux of the matter revolved around the clarity of the particulars of claim, especially in detailing the conduct leading to the alleged breach of contract. The court determined that the claim form, although containing some details, failed to specify the exact nature of the breach. Consequently, the appeal was successful, resulting in the judgment being set aside and the claim being struck out.
