I have now sent off my WS via email to the court and GSL. I'll update after the hearing in 2 weeks.
Thanks a lot everyone for your support, you have been kind and very helpful, really appreciate.

No, you just search the forum for Gladstones email...we will not search for people.

Update on my telephone hearing this morning, case was adjourned.
Judge acknowledged that i've raised some very good points such as the signage and the CRA which wasn't in my defence so he said he would be willing to accept any evidence or response from the claimant to the points i have raised but the rep said she doesn't have any further evidence then we had a glitch where we couldn't hear anything from the judge and he must have continued talking because by the time he joined the hearing again, he'd made an order which he asked if we understood. We both said we didn't hear everything he's said so he read out the conditions of the order to us. He asked the claimant to notify the court by mid December if they wish to cancel the claim or progress. Judge stated that the defendant's WS was thorough and need not provide any further statements.
Thank you once again for the support. It would have been great if this was concluded today but it's more weeks of waiting again. Will i receive a copy of the order in the post as well because i missed the date of the hearing, i only heard December 2020?

Yes you will - judges' orders are always posted out. (If you're lucky they may be emailed too).

I would suggest that the Judge has just given Gladstones a choice to cancel or continue, more so a chance to cancel.
It is not unusual for these legal reps to not have further evidence. Gladstones should take heed

To get the date in Dec, just phone the court

I think it was more of a chance to cancel, because he brought it to their attention that the sign was too high, their submitted copy of the signage was unreadable and there were no road markings on the floor.

I am surprised the judge has let this linger given how busy the courts are especially with dodgy car park claims.  The court seem to be on your side and now, it is firmly in the ball court of Gladstones who will knowingly continue on the basis that the claim is struck out and you can claim costs

Not good for Gladstones or their client

I wonder how long that the judge has allocated? I bet it is at least two hours (costly). Sometimes though even when the PPC has been told indirectly by the judge to put up or shut up they still carry on.

Not another adjournment!  Why can't judges be stronger?  No need to answer that - it's one of those what do you call them, rhetorical questions.
