    Have you looked at any of the Witness Statements linked from post #2 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread?

    You'll find them under this heading:
    WITNESS STATEMENT EXAMPLES
    ...where it also says:
    A WS is simple, it expands on your defence and tells the story from your point of view, and it is vital because it includes your evidence exhibits such as photos of obscured/tiny font signs, any relevant letters, permit/copy of your lease, copy of your authority to park, etc.
    There is also a link there to a Pepipoo post where Witness Statements are explained.

    Short update and appreciate some advice here.

    Bearing in mind how long these things drag on, it's finally got around to a week until the court date.

    I have just realised that I hadn't submitted a Witness Statement and thelast thing i did was provide a defence. Whats happens now or what can I do. Am I right in thinking that the WS should have been sent in 14 days prior?

    Worried I may have messed this up right at the last hurdle. Appreciate any quick feedback to point me back in the right direction to hopefully beat these Cowboys!

    P.S If it is not too late, I also wanted to get advice on whether its worth mentioning that Private Parking companies and a new code of practice was discussed in Parliament in Feb this year.

    What was your court hearing outcome, please?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
