How Inaccurate Legal Advice from CST Law Cost Euro Car Parks Limited £1,350

In the intricate realm of legal disputes, the necessity for precise, accurate, and comprehensive documentation is paramount. A recent incident in the County Court at Reading underscores this point vividly. Euro Car Parks Limited encountered significant hurdles due to poorly drafted particulars of claim, leading to the dismissal of their claim worth over £3,000 under Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) 3.4(2)(c) for non-compliance with CPR 16.4 and Practice Direction (PD) 16.7.5.

The claim, initiated through the online money claim system, was inadequately presented. It lacked sufficient details regarding the alleged breaches, the relied upon conduct, and the specifics of the breach itself. This negligence resulted in not only financial losses but also a considerable depletion of time and resources.

Realizing the severity of their position, the defendant turned to Contestor Legal Services for aid. We promptly recommended that they engage our partner firm, Lawrence and Associates Solicitors. Under the guidance of our CEO, Mr. Jackson Yamba—who also works as a consultant at Lawrence and Lawrence Solicitors, a strategic decision was made to apply for the claim to be struck out under CPR 3.4(2)(c). This decisive action led to the successful striking out of the claim, with costs awarded against Euro Car Parks Limited.
