CEL witness statement

Not_for_real

have read through on a clearer head to spot any mistakes all looks fine - the only bit of concern is points 21 - 23 when ive started talking about grace periods seems quite repetitive 
im fighting this (on behalf of someone) as RK but have not mentioned POFA other than in my defence

also is this the place where i mention i want to be the lay rep

Le_Kirk

No, you just turn up on the day and tell the usher (well the defendant does) that you will be a lay rep.  Just go armed with the regulations concerning this as well as rights of audience as some ushers do not know that you can do this without filling in mounds of forms.

Not_for_real

Thanks. I’ll have a read up on this once my WS is finalised so I can print and send to the courts

Is point 27 of the WS @Coupon-mad wrote (previous posts) about landowner authority still relevant regardless of the situation so I can add it back in? 

Coupon-mad

It's not 'your' WS (I hope that's just a turn of phrase) and the Defendant has to sign it all and go with you on the day.

Landowner authority is always relevant.

Why are your exhibits using the other poster's initials, ''MW''?

Not_for_real

Yes turn of phrase 

I was just after the body of text and once that was good. I was going to go back and add my evidences in order from The previous WS (you’ll see HJ Half way through) which by the looks of it is just the premier park and skipton cases
do I need to provide a copy of first case mentioned - dammerman

but other than that I take it all sounds good. Will get to doing the final version tomorrow to post Monday 

Coupon-mad

do I need to provide a copy of first case mentioned - dammerman

No, it's high enough (like Beavis) that a Judge can access it and will be familiar with it anyway.

Not_for_real

thank you, will judges be familiar with PoFA too - so I know whether to print and attach a copy for the courts

Not_for_real

Also would it be worth saying a note to cel to consider dropping the claim upon receipt of my WS when I email them. Just like they did to settle the matter prior to the hearing

Coupon-mad

Yes if you like, do that in the email. 

You should post a copy of it all to them as well, and keep proof of posting (NOT SIGNED FOR POST).

The POFA doesn't have to be included as an exhibit but if the hearing proceeds, take 3 copes of Sch4 of the POFA and Sch2 of the CRA 2015, with you to hand out and talk about why the inflated charge is not allowed under both laws, and be familiar with paras 98, 193 and 198 of the Beavis case where it says the parking charge MUST contain all the operational costs.

Read the Skipton (win by lamilad!) and the Southampton (new transcript posted) threads from last week!
