Have you checked? Do t look for the words "witness statement". 

Yes and cannot find any reference to any deadline. How should I upload these two documents here?

Look again at your Notice of Allocation. The Notice that gives the hearing date.

Is there not a paragraph something like:

Each party must deliver to every other party and to the court office copies of all documents on which he intends to rely at the hearing no later than [ . . . ] [14 days before the hearing].

Might be on the back.

Those documents you intend to rely on are your Witness Statement and evidence.

Notice of Trial Date (page 1)

In the County Court at Maidstone

Claim Number: XXXXXXX

Date 17 June 2020

Claimant: VEHICLE CONTROL SERVICES LIMITED

Defendant: TNA.Music

The trial of the above claim will take place at 1(0:00 AM on 8 October 2020 at the County Court at Maidstone, Maidstone County Court, The Law Courts, Barker Road, Maidstone, Kent, ME16 8EQ

Any application in the case must be made to the court where the case is to be tried.

Please note: This case may be released to another Judge, possibly at a different Court.

Unless the claimant does by 4.00pm on the 10th October 2020 pay to the court the trial fee of £25.00 or file a properly completed application (i.e one which provides all the required information in the manner requested) for help with fees, then the claim will be struck out with effect from 8 October 2020 without further order and, unless the court orders otherwise, you will also be liable for the costs which the defendant has incurred.

(The trial fee is fee 2.1 in the current Civil Fees Order).

If your claim has been struck out, it will no longer exist. The hearing will be vacated, unless a counterclaim survives the claim being struck out.

If, following strike out of the claim the claimant or defendant wishes to start fresh proceedings a new claim must be filed together with the appropriate fee or application for help with fees.

Information and leaflets explaining more about how to pay a court fee or how to apply for a help with fees are available from the court office or online at: https://www.gov.uk/court-fees-what-they-are

The trial fee is non refundable. If parties settle before the trial fee is due, the trial fee will not be payable. If a consent order settling the matter is requested after the trial fee has been paid, the consent order fee will still be payable.

Please note, unless you apply for help with fees, there will be no further correspondence from the court office regarding payment of the fee or warnings as to the consequences of non payment.

TO THE PARTIES

 

Notice of Trial Date (page 2)

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Please note that the Court's listing Policy provides that the number of cases listed for hearing may exceed the actual judicial time available on the day. This is to ensure maximum and economical use of listing time, taking into account late settlements and also to offer Court users the earliest possible date for hearing.

Therefore please note:

a) The case may be moved to a different hearing venue or stood out at short notice. HMCTS will contact you by 2 pm, the working day prior to the hearing if this is the case.

b) The case may not be called on for hearing at the time stated and there may be some delay.

The Court and HM Court Service will not be responsible for any costs incurred in the absence of any departure from this listing policy unless due to maladministration.

IF THIS CASE SETTLES OR THE TIME REQUIRED FOR THE HEARING OF THE CASE CHANGES THEN PLEASE INFORM THE COURT AT THE EARLIEST OPPORTUNITY.

Please ensure that the court has a telephone number on which you may be contacted during court hours.

It is also advisable that you view the website by 4pm the working day before your case is due to be heard to ensure there have been no late changes to the listing.

The website is WWW.COURTSERVE.NET

Technology - Please note that if any party wishes to (and has been granted leave to) submit material at a hearing that is going to require technology to use it, eg: police interviews on disc or CCTV, then it is the parties' responsibility and not the Courts' to provide such equipment for it to be viewed/listened on.

PLEASE NOTE: To ensure that as many cases as possible are heard on the day and that accordingly litigants do not experience any unnecessary delay in having their cases listed, this Court has a system of "Block Listing". Your case has been Block Listed.

Block Listing involves a number of cases being listed at the same time _ e.g. loam. Cases may not be heard in list order. The order in which they are taken will be determined on the day depending on a number of factors such as which cases are ready and which cases may take longer to deal with.

It is thus possible that even if your case is listed at 10am it may not be heard until a later time. The Court sits from 10am to 1pm and from 2pm to 4pm and if your case is not called by 1pm it will not be heard until the afternoon. Therefore you may wish to ensure that you have made arrangements so that if required you can be at Court into the afternoon.

If therefore the fact that your case has been block listed will cause you a problem, you should notify the Court as soon as possible and preferably before the date of the hearing. In any event you should tell the Court Usher upon arrival at Court of any such difficulty so that he/she can make the Judge aware of the problem.

Date: 17 June 2020

Thanks, it was just very confusing...

Redx

Nothing confusing there , it says what KeithP found , awaiting a a judges directions , but I would query those dates with the court as a typo

You can still prepare , but are awaiting the notice by the court on deadline dates and anything else the judge requires , ditto for the claimant , bearing in mind that unless they pay the trial fee , they lose , never mind anything else

They have to put their money where their big mouth is , or lose , the only question is that strange deadline date

Thanks, I will raise the date issue with the clerk tomorrow. My intention has been to beat them from the get-go and thanks to you guys on this forum all looks god so far.

Keith - the second letter IS the allocation notice. 
Usually this notice, on the back, talks abotu both parties serving and filign documents. 
This letter omits that template wording. 
I would write to the named judge, asking if the court will be sending such directions out and, if no directions are given, you will assume that the data is no latter than 14 days before the hearing date.
