    Im guessing the ship has sailed on any compensation then?

    If you do not ask you do not get. If it was me I should be seeking CPR27.14.(2)(g) costs, especially if this land was covered by Railway Bye-laws.

    Write to the judge and say that in the confusion caused by their failure to turn up (unreasonable behaviour) you completely overlooked the opportunity to present your cost schedule for his consideration, which is now enclosed, and you ask that he awards the full amount to you.

    If you’re claiming loss of earnings (capped @ £95), it will likely help get that if you send copies of recent wage slips.

    Don’t ask, don’t get! Others have been successful with a post-hearing request - but it needs to be done quickly.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    UPDATE: The case was dismissed. They didnt turn up. The judge said the photos of my car were not very useful as they were not time stamped and you couldnt really tell the location. I didnt need to show my land reg or defend myself except to let the judge know I had requested information from the claimant several times before it reached court and they ignored all such requests.

    Good stuff :j

    Thanks alot guys. All of you. I was about ready to give up, now I feel like they owe me something instead. I will draft an email to the court this evening. Thanks again.

    Also thank you to Gladstones. Couldn't have done it without their incompetence.
