    Haha, I'll sell it to her for £160 ;-)
    (can't believe I feel I have to write this but...for legal purposes the above is a joke)....
    Myself and @ParkingMad do collect OPS contracts to assist with other cases. 

    I don't think we have this one so do pm me a copy please!

    Thanks :-)
    So since I know that this contract they've sent me isn't with the land owner as I've spoken to the other party who have told me so, how should I play it? In the possible event that they do have a  further contract that flows down from the actual landowner, would I even want to highlight this issue or should I say nothing and just wait until it comes out in court when it's too late for them to produce it?
    I'm also skeptical of this third party as they're a property management company and I wouldn't be surprised if they're in it together. I don't think they were very happy about having their confidentiality broken with OPS, but that's neither my fault nor my problem...

    No landowner authority is already in the template defence and is a regular feature in these cases , as was seen in the VCS airport case earlier this week

    Save your ammo for the WS plus Exhibits stage , which is where it goes to the nominated local court and to the claimant or their solicitors

    You can't hijack them in court. Everything each side wishes to rely on must be shared between them and with the court beforehand. 
    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.

    Great, thanks. Also, if all of OPS's contracts are redacted in the same way as PDF's (in that they are actually NOT redacted), I could probably open up every one of them.....

    Have a look at Sections 43 and 44 of the Companies Act 2006 with regards to contract/document signatories, and who is authorised to sign/form a contract.
    Both Acts are very short.
    Also have a look at the thread by Johnersh, who is a solicitor, about redactions and the persuasive appeal court case of Hancock vs Promontoria. 

    Redactions in Disclosure — MoneySavingExpert Forum

    I am happy to look at the contract myself with that regard, or you can search for other threads where I have commented on contracts using my username and the keywords, Section 43 Section 44 Companies Act 2006.

    Have you managed to identify the actual landowner yet?

    I married my cousin. I had to...
    I don't have a sister. :D

    Thanks, I will have a look. No I haven't identified the landowner. All I know is that this property company no longer manage that land for them.
