    Sally, edit you post now to remove 1) your full name, 2) your PCN number, and 3) your Claim number.

    When was your Witness Statement due?
    Did you meet that deadline?

    Nothing to sweat about.

    Firstly, there is unlikely to be a hearing, CEL nearly always discontinue before it reaches a courtroom.

    Secondly, one day late does not significantly disadvantage them, and it would be unlikely that a Judge would criticise you for this.

    What about their WS, did they send you that on time?

    I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.

    (a) CEL have filed a witness statement
    (b) Paid the £25 Hearing fee

    Respond back, stating you have not been served their WS, which you will be bringin up in court on the day

    You require a verified by statement of truth list of VRMs, and proof through audit trail that this has nto been altered.
