Sorry - submitted before editing

I've paginated the WS and all the exhibits (in pencil) - have I made a mistake there too? Started with the WS and continued numbering through to the end of the exhibits.

Gladstones copy posted - standard first class with proof of postage.

Printer ran out of ink so had to go to the local photocopy shop - £20 for two copies of each the pages in the WS and exhibits :mad:

I copied the video and photos to a dvd for Gadstones, do I have to use the same format for the court or can I send a USB stick to the court?

Will hand deliver the WS and exhibits to the court tomorrow morning in a lever arch file - with the exhibits tabulated - please correct me if this is not the right thing to do?

do I have to use the same format for the court or can I send a USB stick to the court?

I would take both formats with you and ask the court clerk which format is acceptable.

Make sure the claim number and date of trial is written clearly on the USB stick or DVD, and that it is securely padded within the lever arch file and attached to the ring/lever, maybe in a sealed bubble wrap envelope with holes at one end to attach it to the ring binder.

While you are at the court in the morning (and bear in mind they might close the desk/postbox for paperwork at noon on a Friday!) why not ask the court clerk whether you can bring a laptop with you to show it on the day and will the Judge allow that, in their experience?

Yes, with a simple covering contents page, and claim number on everything.

Thanks Coupon-mad.

Dropped off the folder with the WS and exhibits to the CC. Unfortunately they don't let anyone in if you don't have a trial on the day - no post desk etc. Security took the file from me, no reciept - stated that's what I had to do - I cant go in to speak to the clerk

The security guard went to ask the clerk about dvd/usb but they weren't at their desk so ended up putting both in a padded envelope(hole punched into the folder with the other exhibits).

Bit concrned about not getting a reciept...so will call the court to ask if they'vve gt the docs.

Emailed Gladstones in addition to posting yesterday. Sent exhibits in 3 parts - looks like their email server blocked all 3 with reason "this message has been blocked by the mail server".

Not sure if its the size - around 20MB each or the fact that its pdfs zipped up.

email addresses, if other are interested:

litigation@gladstonessolicitors.co.uk
administration@gladstonessolicitors.co.uk
enquiries@gladstonessolicitors.co.uk

Also, if its correct, the NDR message says they are using an unlicensed anti-spam product that should only be used for non commercial use unless licenced! Bit Naughty!

latest update..

I rang the court to confirm that they had received my WS, which they confirmed was received on the 9th. Court date is 23rd March so 9th was before the 14 day deadline by my calculations.

I asked about the claimants WS and was informed that it was received on the 13th which is past the 14 day deadline.

Looking at their WS, its dated the 13th as well.

Do I need to bring it to the judges attention by mentioning it in my Skeleton?

Coupon-mad

Yes indeedy!

Gladstones WS and exhibits that they sent to me included the following:

• WS from an employee of the claimant company
• An "agreement" authorizing the claimant to manage parking
• A copy of their sign
• A site plan
• the NTK's
• Photos (although the ones of the signs are nowhere near where the vehicle was photographed)

Here is a copy of the agreement - I've removed names and signature - any advice would be appreciated.



Not sure how important it is but couldn't see PCM (UK) on the list of BPA members.

I'll upload the points in their WS with my rebuttals - there isn't any issues with uploading contents of their WS is there?
