    Thanks Coupon_Mad, I will remove #7 and #9 and tidy up the unnumbered paragraph's.

    Can you see anything else I should amend or add?

    Thanks

    Well tomorrow is D Day for this thread after 4 years and 10 months!.

    Nervous .... Yes of course I am! But in a way I'm looking forward to the experience.

    Totally unsure which way it will go but I'm confident of my main points.

    I'll report back from the court room tomorrow 🙈

    All the very best. Look forward to hearing the outcome.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Read AdamBuzz14's actual court transcript, now linked on his thread. It shows a Judge debunking the 'red card' misleading model and also finding that VCS signs were unclear (different car park I expect but it will help you find the form of words you need, that a Judge might use...).

    Take a wage slip with you as proof of loss of leave/salary that you can claim as costs when you win.

    Take proof that you did serve the WS & evidence to VCS, as their rep might lie.

  • "The company will provide a parking control service at the car park for a fixed period of 12 Months from the 10th Day of October 2011 upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth"

    You have included this in your WS but need to stress to the judge that the contract had expired at the date of the incident. The case could be dismissed on that alone.

    That's one of my points to raise , that they still have a contract for the site 👍

    I'm currently sat in the car park near the court, got here a bit too early, as hearing not for another hour 🙈. Bit too cold out there to be walking around the city as well!!
