Is this a letter before court?

Dudleydave

Thanks CM but in the thread I seem to getting conflicting advice. And that is in no way meaning to blame anyone, I can take it.

I was under the impression I had until Tuesday 7th August 2018 to file my Defence?

I was just trying to make sure I have a reasonable case, I appreciate the ineptitude of Gladstones but I do not fancy going to court with no great defence! I will if I have to.

OK yes you have ages, but would be lucky to find someone in Shrewsbury who happens to read this. Why not seek out a Shrewsbury forum, maybe even their footie fans forum?

Dudleydave

I!!!8217;ll drive there myself if need be, it may not help, but it!!!8217;s worth a try.
All I really want to get in my mind is what I mentioned previously, shall I concentrate my defence on their non compliance with my communications or/and anything I can bring up regarding the car park incident itself?

Dudleydave

Sorry, bloody predictive text again!

Coupon-mad

Mostly the latter, but with a smattering of non compliance with the CPR.

Dudleydave

AOS submitted, still attempting to get photos of the signage in the car park.

I will now start compiling my defence.

Dudleydave

I now have photos of the signs at the said car park, I am pretty sure they are newish and are not the signs when the alleged incident took place.
I do not know if this is a good or bad thing!
These seem reasonably clear on the penalties involved, they would be being new though?

Redx

put the claimant to strict proof of the signs at the time, keep yours for the evidence and WS stages later down the line

currently your DEFENCE is what you now concentrate on , not evidence or witness statements etc

issue the claimant (or their solicitors , or both) with a letter requiring all their evidence under GDPR 2018 as well

the claimant and their signs cannot , repeat CANNOT , issue "penalties" , or "fines" , only charges as an invoice for the contract, or if its forbidding signage then no contract exists, meaning that only the landowner can issue trepass proceedings

so look at the NCP signs and decide if a contract is formed , or not


put them on tinypic and add links if you wants forum members to view them

If the signs are new and clearer, then clearly the prior signs were inadequate. Thats the only reaonsable interepretation - why else would they spoend money? It would not be rational.
