Thanks to all who have helped me with this matter, really appreciated. I have re written my witness statement and printed off all my pics as evidence, so all ready to serve up to court and email off to bw legal. Fingers crossed it will get put forward before the case. God knows how the cost has risen but i have been listed from bw legal as hearing fee £140 and court fees £100. I take it these costs are incorrect? Thanks again.

Post it all (redacted) here if you want the regulars to look at it before you send it off.

All court fees are listed on form Ex50 available for download at a Google near you....

You have only incurred the issue fee (MCOL) and a hearing fee insofar as I'm aware - unless we're missing something.

So the rest of the additional costs are theirs - from somewhere...

Do you know the Equality Act and the difference between direct and indirect discrimination? Use the phrases 'protected characteristics' and 'indirect discrimination' at the hearing, and understand his rights, and yours as his carer that day.

Does the disabled child not have a Blue Badge, but DOES have protected characteristics that mean he meets the definition of disability?

Are you the defendant because you were driving, did you appeal and did you ever send proof of his medical needs?

I have no idea what they are thinking of with those ''costs'' and you MUST object in the strongest terms.

Fingers crossed it will get put forward before the case.

What do you mean?

Sheffield court, or where?

You are sending proof of his disability with the WS to the court and to BW Legal, as well as a few photos, yes? What did you put, do you understand his rights in law, and how this is 'indirect' discrimination even without a Blue Badge?

Amazing result today thanks to you guys, judge dismissed claim on grounds sign t&c's where unclear and was also amazed they still pushed ahead with claim after I had given proof of my sons disability and photograpic evidence he was present. A really big thank you @johnersh, the late witness statement advice was very helpfull. Thank you all once again.

Hooray! Well done to you, another one bites the dust! Which court and which Judge?

Just goes to show again that a late WS is not the end of the World!

Fees are £240 solicitor fees letters and emails ect, £100 court fees, £140 for hearing. £556 total cost inclusive.

Their 'costs' were nothing short of outrageous, did the Judge think so too, and did you get your OWN costs when you won (did you ask, at the end?).

What was the Judge like and the other side's rep?
