My choice would be: 4, 2&3= then 1.
Attending a hearing gives you the opportunity to ask questions and challenge anything the Claimant's advocate might say.
That opportunity is lost if you do not attend - even worse if the Claimant attends and spouts their version of the truth.1 -
Option 2 would allow that - It's still a hearing in that both parties come together in front of the Judge (albeit telephone conf only).KeithP said:My choice would be: 4, 2&3= then 1.

Yes but the real point is that a hearing 'on the papers' immediately gives you a disadvantage against a firm of solicitors whose day job is writing 'papers'.Driver2021 said:

I'm not keen on that basis - My preference is for phone, video, papers then hearing but really wanted input to see if I am missing anything. Would telephone, video, hearing, papers be more appropriate?0

Read again item 12 on that list you were following when you filed a Defence.
Here it is again...

It's very much a personal choice except NEVER No 1. If you want to show the judge something, can this be done over a telephone? Many hearings are by video these days.1

'On the papers' should just not feature in any list you might consider. We have seen almost every case so 'heard' lost by the defendant.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.
