BW Legal - Any help very much appreciated...

Redx

Barry Beavis lost in 3 courts , the last one being the Supreme Court

He paid the judgment after the first one , no CCJ

He was never a criminal nor did he get a criminal record

He went back to frying fish and chips as well as assisting others with court claims

Somebody needs a reality check

Thank you Beamer, I really appreciate the time you put into that. As does my wife who is really worrying about 'being in court'. I keep telling her this is civil, nobody is a criminal here, but I fear she will need to see it to believe it. I know it's going to be very informal and I am not worried about that side of it. But your words helped so thank you.



I will keep those points strongly in mind.

Your good lady should be worrying for BWL ...... most coming out of a BWLegal case feel sorry for the rep they sent
I know that the other week, we thought their rep had fallen asleep

1. During my read of many threads, I found this comment from Coupon-Mad. She says:

"WS STAGE
Or if you have already put in a defence, you can use this entire section as a SUPPLEMENTARY WITNESS STATEMENT to accompany your WS 'story of what happened' and your other evidence (of course it will need to start with #1!):"

Then follows a pretty long (but excellent) section of prose which I think she is suggesting we should supplement to our WS. Just want to check if this is old news or still relevant today? It seems like I will end up with another massively long document if I add that as well as my own WS material.


2. I just read this witness statement. CM says it is very good, and I like it too. But many people have said a WS should just be the circumstances, i..e what has been 'witnessed'. This WS appears to go very much into defence points. Is this ok? I was about to trash much of my own draft WS for this reason, but then I read this and it appears that it met with approval of experienced forumites

Somebody else has just posted a Supplementary Witness Statement fourteen minutes ago - at 7:44pm.

Copy that.

Thanks KP, I found that.

I am still researching what a "Supplementary" Witness Statement is. I thought there could only be one WS. It seems like this is a new document which is now advised since DJ Grand v CouponMad in Southampton!

I will confirm that by continuing reading threads, but I think it means I do my WS as per normal, then add one like this for some reason which will become clear this evening. Thanks

PS - Having being (rightly) scolded for my terrible trouble with verbosity, I have to be very careful with the length of my WS. My draft is 1900 words (I was amazed I managed to keep it that short!)

I just ran a wordcount on that new WS mentioned above and it is 3647 words, and that's just a supplementary/additional WS! Is this supplementary WS that important to risk annoying the DJ as I have been advised against before, considering the sparse time he/she has to read this stuff prior to hearing?

The driver took her children to visit Falmouth Maritime Museum which was a regular outing.


I wouldn’t mention that this was a regular outing

Surely it didn't have two 'e's in judgment? In the legal sense it's spelt with one:

NOTICE OF PENDING COUNTY COURT JUDGEMENT

You need to copy a witness statement that mentions the NCP 0 taxman 1 case (search the forum and use that Court of appeal transcript as an evidence exhibit, that the parking contract begins when the money is paid and the button pressed for the ticket, not before). I recall a couple of people using that really well before.

Thanks both.
Judgment - Well I never! That seems horrible to me! All my life I have used the "e" but it appears I am wrong, thank you! Still bloody weird, or maybe it's just me who's weird. I can tolerate that notion, and I am sure I am not alone
