    In terms of taking out 31 (except 31.4), i'm trying to highlight that the parking contract has mistakes in. So, do i still take out 31 and leave 31.4 in? What you think?


    31.4 has nothing to do with the mistakes in the landowner-ppc contract. it's the point about the case law which says that unfair contract terms should be highlighted.

    Understood, my bad! Will amend. Thanks.

    I'll use the following template for a cost schedule (https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/72966188#Comment_72966188

    If im not wrong, for rule 27 this does not apply. Could someone confirm please
  • Potentially, but you'll need to prove actual loss, rather than a notional hourly rate. That can be harder, esp if self employed.

    £95. That's about it for loss of earnings.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
