Thanks @KeithP,
Would it be worthwhile me sharing my witness statement for comment?

Yes, everyone does

The reason for Keith querying you earlier is you siad the D had the Cs WS before writing the defence, Obviously this is not correct, and you just used defence where you should hbave put Witness Statement. Trouble is this is a text forum so we need to be sure that you're putting the right terms down, because otherwise confusion arises.
Plan for not seeing their WS
Hope you do
Thats the only sensible course of action

Hi, 
I received the Dispute Resolution Hearing notice through the post yesterday.  The hearing is scheduled for 24th March.
I have referred to the NEWBIES thread and witness statement template thread (https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/77614685/#Comment_77614685).
Looking at the template, it suggests that they received the claimants witness statement prior to writing their defence - Is this the best approach?

Who is they?  You, the defendant, write a defence but surely that is already written and submitted.  Along with the Notice of Hearing were there any instructions about what you have to send and by when?

Obviously the defence has been written - However, as per my update, I have been asked to produce a witness statement.  In the template provided in the NEWBIES thread, it suggests the write (i.e. the Defendant) has received a copy of the Claimants witness statement prior to them writing their own.

The Notice states:
By no later than 14 days before the hearing, you must send to the Court and to the other party...all of the evidence on which you wish to rely...
Your evidence should include any relevant documents...
You must provide a written witness statement containing your evidence

I see @keithP has given you sound advice - same that I would have said.  Just do not miss YOUR deadline.

What is the best way to share it - Ideally without the Claimant seeing it.

Just post it on here; the claimant will see it soon enough, as you are duty bound to (serve) send them a copy when you file with the court.
