    This is the dumb argument from the solicitors

    Barrister has already advised that the issue relating to the Audatex images was secondary to the rationale of the Judge in finding against you on the day. The barrister never told the solicitors ,of his concession of no dent/damage/negligence in court .

    If you don't have any dent/damage/negligence , there is no case , case dismissed no negligence ,everything else becomes secondary , but according to the solicitor the opposite is secondary.

    Just vehicle damage .There was no personal injury.
    So just vehicle damage - which was so slight that the photos didn't show any on your car...

    If the Judge confirms that he could see no damage to your vehicle from the pictures before him, what do you expect your barrister to do? Magic some evidence of a dent out of nowhere? Tell the judge that he is wrong? It seems the Judge had already made his mind up based on the pictures. Either there was no damage or the damage was so minimal so as not to effect the value/state of the car due to pre existing damage.

    You're a typical losing Claimant. Blaming everyone but yourself for losing the case.

    My own photograph showed the damage on my computer screens , but in court these are printed on A4 , They lose clarity when printed.

    There were other clearer photographs from the garage report ,these were with the the barrister , they clearly showed the dents.The garage report also had 25 other pieces of magnified damage on the car ,little spots and chips of 2 mm etc , but the garage used a 10 mm thick pen to highlight these damages , which were microscopic in actual size.This was the report , the solicitor sent to court , without my permission and without telling me.This was dumb thing to do.

    Only the accident relevant car side photographs should have been submitted , giving the judge no reason to doubt the damages.In fact they should be printed in photographic quality paper , so they become clear evidence for judges.

    The defendant hid all their evidence , except the evidence in their favor , so there were no doubts on their statement.

    Riiight.

    Strange, then, how they didn't get introduced in court.

    Umm, yes. That's what they do. It's your side's job to introduce the evidence in your favour.

    The judge had these pictures in front of him in court , he suffered inattention blindness.

    Inattentional blindness, also known as perceptual blindness, is a psychological lack of attention that is not associated with any vision defects or deficits. It may be further defined as the event in which an individual fails to perceive an unexpected stimulus that is in plain sight.
