    Well done .... another spanking for BWLegal.

    Bet BWL did not get so many spankings when they were chasing real debts like gas bills. ?

    Time to reflect BWLegal ?

    Well done on your win, especially one heard on papers alone. Usually the claimant wins those. It is good that you had such a clued up judge.
    It is interesting that some of us have been commenting on the scammers' witness statements where the statement of truth begins "The claimant believes ..." and we have said it is incorrect.
    This judge has instead stated that "I believe ..." is incorrect, but "The claimant believes" is so.
    We need to be aware of that in the future
    Indeed @Fruitcake, just today a witness statement was provided by a poster which had this very issue.

    Well done on your win. I read somewhere that this judge likes to hear the parking cases. It's good when  the judge that hears the case has a good understanding of the issues.

  • Thanks all. 

    I wasn't entirely confident being heard on papers alone, as I felt my defence was shaky at best and very last minute. I also feel lucky as my witness statement was never submitted in the end. 

    I thought the judgement was very informative and pointed out things that I hadn't been aware of going into my defence. So I hope it helps any others, as I have been helped by all of you here on MSE.

    Judge Iyer has this scam nailed. 
    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.
