    Include everything you might want to talk about and rely on. If you attached evidence to the first defence you should not have done, and it's needed now. Your local court will not have it.

  • Sorry to be a pain but can't seem to work out what email address for Gladstones Knutsford to forward my witness statement etc to. The only one I have if for payment. Online I can only find one for enquiries. Anyone got any ideas?
  • Have sent my w/s etc to the court. As for emailing Gladstones with the exact same I have hit a problem.I have phoned several times but both their telephone lines go onto a queue with music, on a promise that ' your call is important to us'. I wanted to enquire about what email address to forward it to. I have sent to their enquiries email address as the payment one would be of no good. I asked them to acknowledge my emails , but surprise surprise no reply. Do you think they do this to make you worry? Maybe they do this regularly. Can only hope that maybe I will finally get through.

  • I have received the witness statement from PCMs solicitors Gladstones. They state what I expected them to say , in such as they think I see the signs. Their photographic evidence is from, on the night which is dark anyway, and daytime which it wasn't at the time. So unless I can read from inside my car (No and I couldn't get out) then you can't see wording. So I will argue with them on that. They have actually have got a photo from the front of my car. This must have been from a distance or when I looked left to see my granddaughter getting to car. ( fuzzy image next to passenger door) So feel set up with no offer to move. Then comes the cases I quoted in my defence which they are picking apart. I will detail what they say but will have to do a few messages so they aren't too long
  • They have given me page from Blue Handbook about private roads , as in do not park unless you have permission from owner. But if I wasn't parked as such or causing obstruction and actually unaware I was wrong then I will argue as such.
    This is what they say about signs. Even in the unlikely event the Defendant didn't see the signs I ( the solicitors witness) submit they ought to have done so. As Lord Justice Rich observed in the Court of appeal case Vine v London Borough of Waltham Forrest 2000. "Once it is established that sufficient and adequate warning notices were in place, as a car driver cannot be heard to say that he or she did not see the notice. We're that to be the law, it would be too easy for car drivers who trespass with their cars to evade the only method land owners have of stopping the unauthorised parking of cars in parking spaces or parking areas on their property"
  • They also suggest my headlights would have been directly on the sign and line of sight as I pulled onto and parked on relevant land.
    I was looking in direction of school for my granddaughter and was in pain so was looking for other traffic and pedestrians more than signs.
    They say their signs are audited and approved by an accredited trade association within parking sector
  • No contract. On this they say the following.
    My company relies on the case of Parking Eye v Beavis 2015.In that case it was accepted as an established principle that a valid contract can be made by an offer in the form of the terms and conditions set out on the sign, and accepted by the drivers actions as prescribed therein.
  • I will post more tomorrow as there is quite a bit more and I have to up for work at 5am

    You are quoting the usual template rubbish. All of the above can be shot down at the hearing.
