    I'll get the D to write to CEL requesting photos of the signage from the time of the event. Should we cc the court in any correspondence at this stage?

    No, not if just writing to ask for some evidence. Just put copies of everything into the case file.

  • Is CEL a member of BPA? BPA code requires meticulous record keeping, so they would have copies of all signage, records of when signage changed and how, etc. If IPC (although I think they're BPA) there will be a similar provision.


    Write to them quoting the paragraph number of the Code of Practice and request a copy of the signage on the relevant date, and a copy of all changes since (sometimes changes may indicate an acceptance that previous signage was unclear/deficient). Point out this information should be easy and inexpensive for them to produce, given their obligation to comply with paragraph x of the Code (compliance with which is mandatory and is a condition of membership)
    Although a practising Solicitor, my posts here are NOT legal advice, but are personal opinion based on limited facts provided anonymously by forum users. I accept no liability for the accuracy of any such posts and users are advised that, if they wish to obtain formal legal advice specific to their case, they must seek instruct and pay a solicitor.

    Any idea of the courts' current take on CEL's habit of not sending detailed PoC out per the 14 days, or not filing a certificate of service at court?

    There were a lot of CEL threads on here late last year but think most/all got discontinued prior to court early this year or very late last year.
