    You can't email a WS and evidence to court, bcause they won't print it out for you.
    Ah I see, we did mention in the email that this has been emailed and not posted due to the current circumstances as leaving the house and going to a post office is not possible at the moment due to the risk being outside. Would it be worth printing and posting it even though it would arrive later than the specified date?

    Edit: also how would I be able to give the video evidence I have taken if emailing is not possible? Or is that shown to the judge on the day?

    It must be sent on a 'durable medium' to both the Claimant and the Court.

    A 'durable medium' is something that once sent cannot be altered by the sender.

    In the case of video, that means you are effectively limited to either a CD/DVD, or memory stick/card.

    A video file as an attachment to an email is another example of a 'durable medium', but you might need the explicit agreement of the court and the claimant to accept evidence that way.

    A link to a Dropbox file, a Youtube file, or indeed a link to anywhere, is not acceptable as you could alter that file after the link has been sent.

    Well it has already been sent as an email and hopefully considering the current circumstances the court will accept it this way.

    How do you mean "as an email"
