Will the OP be allowed to represent his daughter in court as opposed to being a McKenzie friend?  If it gets to court won't the daughter have to speak for herself - or get a lawyer to do it?

She will of course need to speak for herself as a witness (assuming she is one for the purposes of her case) but the OP can do everything else on her behalf (and the telephone case management discussion referred to in the OP means they have effectively already been "in court").

Yes, OP will be able to represent the daughter. The Lay Representatives (Rights of Audience) Order 1999 refers. The OP should have a copy of this available as not all county court judges are aware of this order.

We're talking about Scotland though - summary of the rules here:

Thanks ... so in Scotland the rules are basically the same but the use of a Lay Rep must be notified to the court in advance.

(See section 2.4 of this PDF which is linked from your link above).

Problem is a damaged connector  found six month later .

No Op said " JL delivered to her top floor flat in dec. 2019 "

That would make it at least 15 months ago. Is the Op saying the tv remained un-boxed during this period stored at the flat or elsewhere perhaps?

Well spotted.
Perhaps the OP could explain the inconsistency ??

All gone quiet now that has been pointed out.
