  • As photos were taken at a close range they do look quite big, though that is clearly subjective.

    The fact is, any person used to that car park having been previously free would have failed to notice them unless they happened to just cast their eyes on them.
  • I know that I'm supposed to send to the court all documents I intent to rely on in my defence two weeks before the hearing. I have already sent the defence itself, what else do you guys think I should add?

    What??

    Witness Statement and evidence of course.

    Are you no longer following the guidance offered in post #2 of the NEWBIES thread?
  • Darn, what was I thinking?! :o
    WS now underway...
    Sadly, Britannia appears to have woken up and is no longer dormant, so that argument now goes out of the window :(

    The hearing's provisionally set for the 12th July.
    So you have precisely three days to file and serve your Witness Statement and evidence.
  • I know, and I'll do it.

    Got confused again on which Britannia Parking Ltd is active and which dormant... information overload methinks. However there's nothing to suggest that they tried to correct it in this instance.

    Still says 'dormant' if you mean this firm name:

    Show us your WS and list of evidence.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Keep an eye on the fees as when I got one through these clowns I had one letter from BW legal explaining fees breakdown inc their costs next one was what they submitted to court and the fees were completely different but same total.
    Get in touch with land owner as it does work I got mine cancelled at the 12th hour albeit brittania and bw refused to talk to each other confirming it was cancelled making me do more leg work through the land owner who I think was getting a. Bit miffed by the end
  • The landowner has since changed and so has the parking operator, so zero chance of that happening, not that I haven't tried before, but I do appreciate your suggestion.

    Coupon-Mad,
    Do you think I should mention the dormant Britannia in my evidence (and risk the active Britannia correcting the claimant's particulars just prior to the hearing), or wait until the hearing?
  • I am trying to copy and paste my original defence into the WS, adding appropriate references at each paragraph where I had evidence to support it, but before spend (or waste) too much time doing that , is there any reason not to follow that route? Samples of WSs on MSE forum vary enormously and sometimes I could not quite follow their logic...
