County court letter assistance

Depends on the judge. Some judges might view it as irrelevant rubbish

Then he/she must be sacked. How can the will if the people be thus regarded?

Keep it in OP. Whilst my learned friend may have a better acquaintanceship with the law, I suspect that I a better grasp of human psychology.

The DPP's decision in that case was based on a proper application of the law. ... snipped

... The OAP used 'reasonable force' to defend himself, faced with a potentially resulted in the jury returning a Not Guilty verdict, and a huge waste of public funds bringing it to trial.

So, are you saying Mr C that the will of the people, public opinion, had nothing to do with the decision?

I seem to recall that quite recently the Parole Board, in their wisdom, decided to release Stephen Warboys. There was such a massive outcry from the people that the head of the Board has resigned, and the decision has been overturned.

Can you email your defence to skipton court?

Ring the court first to check they will accept it by email. I posted the email address on Capt Mainwaring's thread recently.

Make sure the subject line contains your claim number and "defence attached". Request a confirmation reply or ring the court to check they've got it.

@The Deep (although i'm sure we'll have to agree to disagree on these points)... We're now a tad off topic....

If he's not, he ought to be. If you kill anyone (in self defence or otherwise) you will always be arrested. That is for a number of reasons:
1. It will entitle you to immediate legal advice
2. It will prevent you returning to the scene whilst forensics do their thing
3. It will protect the police insofar as they are required to investigate whether a crime has been committed and it will put in place strict procedural requirements.

There is nothing wrong in any of that - even if it was always pretty clear in the recent case that no charges would be brought (as indeed they were not). Nothing to do with the newspapers or public opinion, but the operation of the criminal legal system.

Similarly, it was always fairly clear (albeit some years ago now) that the farmer Tony Martin would be charged, given that he reloaded his shotgun in order to shoot at intruders, shot them in the back when they were running away and did not call the emergency services but checked into a hotel whilst his victim bled out...

I seem to recall that quite recently the Parole Board, in their wisdom, decided to release Stephen Warboys. There was such a massive outcry from the people that the head of the Board has resigned, and the decision has been overturned.

The High Court looked at the Parole Board decision because of proceedings brought by two of his victims, not because of "public opinion" or the newspapers. The decision was overturned because of a failure to consider all of the appropriate materials, not because there was a general hankering to lock him up and throw away the key

The head of the parole board is reported to have resigned, but was essentially sacked by the Justice Secretary because it was determined to be politically expedient. Indeed it is only this last point that is a nod to public opinion, in which the government bravely throw someone else under the bus to deflect criticism from them.

Rang the court and all sent as suggested.

Just received a Notice of Allocation to the small claims track (hearing).
Deputy District Judge Flanagan has considered the statements of case and directions questionnaire filed and ordered that:
Unless the claimant does by 4.00 pm on 01 June 2018 pay the court the trial fee of £25.00 or file a properly completed application (I.e one which provides all the required information in the manner requested) for help with fees, then the claim will be struck out with effect from 01 June 2018 without further order and, unless the court orders otherwise, you will also be liable for the costs which the defendant has incurred.

The hearing of the case will take place at****** on ******** at the county court skipton.

Should also have a bit where it orders exchange of documents. Make a note of that.

There is a part where it states having considered the papers in your case, the court believes your case is suitable for mediation. To accept this offer call*******.

Each party must deliver to the other party and to the court office copies of all documents on which that party intends to rely at the hearing no later than 14 days before the hearing.
