Court claim

Le_Kirk, I'm not too sure what you mean by that or what the paragraph states as I am a bit confused.
Are you saying that I need an introduction to clarify what the defence would be about? is that necessary?

Le_Kirk

Put yourself in the position of the judge (or anybody else) reading that defence without foreknowledge of all that has gone before, would you know to which parking event, which car park, what date etc it related.
If you check out some of the concisely written defences in the NEWBIE thread post # 2, you will see that most, if not all of them, have that paragraph. However, IANAL and only advise what I have read and seen on this forum many times. It is, of course, your decision.

looks a lot better now

no , not point 8 , but the last sentence (the statement of truth) was what I meant

so now its a raeasonable draft you need to adapt it according to any critique of the content (or lack of) , like mentioned above , address things like POC and whatever the signage offered , or did not offer , as in FORBIDDING SIGNAGE ?

so you have the basics correct now, so the content is now what matters, so it may need edits, additions and subtractions, as appropriate , which I have no training to give

the advice I gave was common sense, especially when the layout of HEADER , FOOTER and NUMBERING was already written by BARGEPOLE

so a lot better, now just need suitable edits etc before it is submitted by email by 4pm tomorrow, as a signed and dated pdf attachment

I will update my defence to include more content, thank you, is it okay if i post the rest on here?

Oh okay I understand now, thank you for making that clear to me

I would remove your #1 and defend this as driver, as you will be able to come across as an honest witness if you can talk with knowledge about the car only being pulled over for less than 5 minutes and not actually parked/left in a space, and they crept up behind you to take photos from the back!

Replace #1 with the words suggested by Le_Kirk, suitably adapted to mention the car park in question.

Yes this is exactly what had happened and I will change this just before I send it through. Thank you very much for that. Just a quick question can I not send it through just as an email rather than sending it through as a PDF?

no , because it has to be a signed and dated document and officially documents are pdf,s , like car insurance, house insurance , holiday bookings , bank statements etc


surely you have had these emailed to you in recent times ?
