    I was going to submit online via the gateway which I am part way through doing. Would emailing be best?

    It is very basic and amatuer but having to rush it.

    Absolutely not via the gateway. It destroys formatting.

    the gateway destroys the formatting and only allows a limited number of characters , which you would already know if you had studied post #2 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread

    you would and should listen to your peeers and do as we tell you , if you want to win

    it is time that the gateway allowed people to upload their defence as a pdf , but email is by far the best method, providing it is signed and dated or an electronic signature added

    No-one says to put the defence in using MCOL. The NEWBIES thread explains why not and all other defence threads talk about emailing it as a signed/dated document to the CCBCAQ email.

    You need to read more threads, stop rushing it and ruining your formatting of the entire defence.

    There is no formatting to destroy as it is only two paragraphs. My only defence is that I was a member of easy gym and therefore contract with them and followed their T&C!!!8217;s not CEL!!!8217;s.

    What about your Defence in post#4?

    Lamilad said in post #8 it was ok -ish.

    Just send that.

    It's good enough for CEL.

    That is not a defence.

    You could copy a better one in ten minutes flat and have a better chance.

    agreed, no reason why you cannot just use that defence in post #4 , or that same defence with the amendments suggested a few posts lower down the page

    then print it , sign it , scan it , save as a pdf and email it , tonight , asap
