I missed a detail through the Newbie thread to do list what impact will its have?

Good afternoon, I'm just about to start my drafts for my defence after writing notes and collecting the photos and specifics,

just a quick question on referring to the old cases and how to write them in my defence.

I assume I can refer to them? and then link the similarities with mine?

Evidence doesn't go with the defence but with the witness statement.  Just put short, punchy, legal/technical arguments in your defence that point the way to the cases you want to use.

got ya thanks

Can someone be kind enough to clarify whether I am;

1) It is admitted that the Defendant was the registered keeper and driver of the vehicle in question but liability is denied.
My thought process is that liability is for the full PcN (£160 excluding the court fee)

or

It is admitted that the Defendant was the registered keeper of the vehicle in question but liability is denied. The defendant however is admitting to also being the driver on the date of the claim.

or

It is admitted that the Defendant was the registered keeper and driver of the vehicle in question.

Of those three, I believe the best one is...
It is admitted that the Defendant was the registered keeper and driver of the vehicle in question but liability is denied.

also am I correct to always refer to me, I, etc as the 'Defendent'?

Yes, a Defence is always written in the third person.

You just need to adapt the template and follow the 12 steps explained there.  Show us ONLY the paragraphs 2 and 3 onwards that you are writing yourself.

 can I just confirm that In paragraph 3 I'm writing my statement of the time of claim only and that I'm not adding in the references to photos and details that I have obtained post the time of the claim?

i.e. there is clearly a distinct lack of signs in the photos even in daylight?, That the size of the font isn't easily visible for the T's & C's and that it varies in size, etc. etc

It's defendant , no 3rd e

The WS in several months time references pictures , transcripts , laws etc , no evidence is submitted with the defence

Keep your paragraphs short and concise , opening the door to the points that you expand on at the WS plus Exhibits stage in several months time , that is when you go through the open doors

Now show us your proposed draft of paragraphs 2 and 3 , save the questions until later , after the feedback and critique

Signage etc is already in the template defence , it ALWAYS is
