    The WS doesn't need teeth. A skeleton argument has teeth and legal arguments and can follow (or be taken to court) once you've seen the whites of their eye in their WS.

    How does that witness statement look? I'll add in a reference to Beavis sign and any response I get to the SAR. The deadline for this is the middle of May, which seems ages away!

    This feels like a game of poker, in that I'm waiting for them to reveal their hand :) Is it better to submit the witness statement early and spend some time on the skeleton argument? Is it likely Gladstones\CPM will wait until around May before submitting theirs??

    Knowledge is power. Can anything be gleaned from the judge that's been assigned to this? Deputy District Judge Harvey.

    Just googled - perhaps best not bring up canoes if it's the same DDJ and if you are lucky he might bring some olive focaccia to break the ice.

    Is it worth adding a copy of the insurance certificate that shows me as the main driver plus one additional driver?

    Regarding photos used as exhibits, should they be printed on a single page and should exif data or timestamp be included?

    Any feedback on the WS as it stands?

    Thanks

    I would include the insurance that shows 2 drivers (at least)...bear in mind you can also authorise anyone else with fully comp insurance to drive your car. WS looks fine, put it in (file to the claimant as well, with evidence to both them and the court) then it's their move!

    don't serve it early, you don't want to give them a heads up on your case

    I hear what you're saying LoadsofChildren. They have until the 23rd March to pay the court fee, which is the same date they have to respond to the SAR chaser. Do you think I wait and see if they pay first?

    Yes, depending on the stated date by which you have to file your WS (often 'not later than 14 days before the hearing' but I've seen different versions, depends on the Judge).

    It's good to have it all ready to avoid the stress of a last minute rush, but serve it on the day you are supposed to. Are you against Gladstones? In my case they served theirs early and this seems to be the case for others as well. But that's up to them. Don't serve yours early. You can deal with any points they raise then as well.
