That is good news.

Her WS should be written in the first person, and signed and dated by her and filed in advance, with your own WS (NOT your defence, your WS, story of what happened), and any evidence you want to rely on.

The WS you showed doesn't seem to be written in the first person.

debs.c

yes, her witness statement is filed, along with mine and signed and dated, it starts like this........
.....IN THE COUNTY COURT
Claim No:
Between

Minster Baywatch Ltd

(Claimant)

-and-

[Y]

(Defendant) Me

WITNESS STATEMENT of x
1) the full name of witness is.......2) as above

Yes, I would say say so...

debs.c

As long as she signed & dated it, leave it!

debs.c

yeah it is, ok. so now im going to prepare for the day, im assuming....3 copies of defence/witness statements, email, photographs, any other evidence, also, a 'script' of what actually happened, with dates for me to follow at the court hearing.?
the local MP has contacted me , via my witness, and asked to see all documents and hopefully offer support! nothing to loose i guess, thanks

Sounds good, well done on your witness supporting you and bring an MP onside.
