You can't show the judge anything until the day of the hearing. If you are still in time you might be able to submit a supplementary WS in advance.

Did you tell the court again in writing that due to your medical issue, a 'phone or video hearing in private is impossible, and since you rely on face to face communication you would be severely disadvantaged by a hearing on papers? The court must make reasonable adjustments for you in accordance with the EA 2010.

I've gone past the original deadline to submit a WST, however since court has postponed due to the pandemic; I don't know if this also postpone the deadline for WST. I have not been given any information on this.

Did the court postpone the hearing as a result of you telling them about you medical condition, or the corona virus, or is there still the possibility that you could still be asked to partake in a 'phone or video hearing in private 

See here for the exact reason why the court has been vacated (I realised postponed is the wrong word):
I have already served my WST to the Judge and sent a copy to the claimant; am I able to make another statement at this point? It's all a bit confusing now.

Hi everyone, I hope you're all keeping safe.
I've just received a letter and I don't know if you've seen this or not: Click here
Should I contact Gladstones and ask for the charges to be dropped, otherwise to forget it and settle it at the hearing? As for options on where the hearing can be held, my problem is I cannot do telephone or video calls as I am completely deaf in both ears, and I wear a cochlear implant on my right ear. I heavily rely on communicating face to face in order to understand what has been said. With that being said, I'll have to write an email to Walsall county, with my explanation, and ask for the hearing to be held at court. Having said that, should I mention anything about abuse of process and how other claims have been dismissed?

My understanding is that you tried to comply with para 2 of the court order by making a drop hands offer, but the scammers/scamlicitors have not complied with said order by not replying or agreeing or making an alternative offer. That court letter effectively gives you permission to tell the judge about your email. Make sure to take a screengrab of it in your sent box and print it off. Since both parties have until the 14th day after service of the court order, the scammers have until then to agree terms with you and both parties sign it AND for one or both of you to inform the court in writing. 


Para 3 required you to tell the court within 21 days whether you agreed to a hearing on papers or otherwise. Have you done this?

I have informed the court that I require for the hearing to take place in court due to my medical condition. However the entire time I've been waiting for Gladstones to respond to me on their decision whether to agree with drop hands offer or take this matter to court. I have heard nothing and therefore no agreement has been made; which, I guess, means I cannot send in writing on what we will do next?

iWindmill

Hang on, I believe I misunderstood.
I see that Gladstones and I have to attempt to reach an agreement within 14 days (tomorrow is the deadline which Gladstones have until to respond to my email). If Gladstones fail to respond, I can send an email to Hearing CC explaining that an agreement cannot be made and that I request for the hearing to be held at court due to my medical condition.
I got it now. Sorry for confusion.

Yep, that's correct.

Hi all,
I've just received the claimant's WST copy via county court (never received a copy from the claimant).
My blood pressure was high after reading their WST. Could anyone spare some time and have a look at it, and point out anything I could use in court? I'd like to prepare myself. 
Also it may be useful for other people to see what Gladstone's WST look like, I guess?
Thanks,
D

What is the claimant's defence copy?  You are the defendant, you file a defence!

iWindmill

Sorry, brain fart - I meant witness statement.

Surely you've just received the template witness statement that is seen in every Gladstones thread, that we hope you will have been expecting and could have written for them?!  The one about HMRC v VCS, Alder v Moore or whatever!

That is a fair point, I shall dig through every Gladstones thread and see if I can find their WST.

Search the forum for a name of a case in it such as 'Alder' if it's in your one.  

Or search the forum for the name of the signatory of the WS.
