are there any posts of examples of witness statements so I can see the layout?

Yes.

Look again at post #2 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread.
Look for these words Here is a Witness Statement...

jrc123

to confirm I send it to the court and also to gladstones by email and post?

is there an example in a previous post of a witness statement ?

thanks

jrc123

redx thank you for that info and Keith thank you also!

jrc123

just a question are there any case I should 100% quote in my witness statement as the examples on the sticky are slightly different from mine?

I pulled over , read the sign, didn't agree and drove off.

Only if it/they support your defence. Why, for example, would you include an image that shows a perfectly illuminated/legible sign if you have claimed in your defence that the signage was poor?

jrc123

the images show me pulling up, going over to read a sign, then driving off.
The images are time and date stamped.

Surely suitable evidence?

Highlight paragraph 7 and add that

"It is reasonable to presume that trying to take advantage of motorists by claiming standing where byelaws apply falls within the scope of the behaviour Parliament are seeking to ban. The Claimant is a professional company and will have taken legal advice before operating on this site. Such legal advice is germain to the issue and should be produced to the court.

If no legal advice has been sought prior to operating on byelaws land, the defendant asks the court to strike out this claim and any similar ones until such time as the client can prove their standing at this site."

The_Deep

This is an entirely unregulated industry which is scamming the public with inflated claims for minor breaches of contracts for alleged parking offences, aided and abetted by a handful of low-rent solicitors.

Parking Eye, CPM, Smart, and another company have already been named and shamed, as has Gladstones Solicitors, and BW Legal, (these two law firms take hundreds of these cases to court each year). They lose most of them, and have been reported to the regulatory authority by an M.P. for unprofessional conduct

Hospital car parks and residential complex tickets have been especially mentioned.

The problem has become so rampant that MPs have agreed to enact a Bill to regulate these scammers. Watch the video of the Second Reading in the HofC recently.
and complain in the most robust terms to your MP. With a fair wind they will be out of business by Christmas.
