Do I just wait to receive further instructions now?0

No, you go back to the guide to court in the NEWBIES, and the twelve step guide in the template defence thread to see what to expect, and how to deal with it.
You start collecting and collating evidence in readiness for your witness statement and exhibits.I married my cousin. I had to...I don't have a sister.

Yes ... but there's nothing to stop you working on your WS while everything is fresh in your mind. (Although you may need to await the SAR response to flesh it out).
Edit: Yes = No - as in there are things you can do, but nothing actually court-related until you get further communication from the CCBC.Jenni x2 -
Hi All, so by way of an update, I've now received the N180 Directions questionnaire. My question is, would it be worth adding my wife as a witness because she was with me when the alleged event occurred? If I do will she be required to attend the hearing too if it were to get that far?

The evidence of a witness who doesn't attend a hearing will probably be dismissed as hearsay.2

Hi, so the latest is VCS has sent me a letter (and form N434) notifying me that they have disinstructed their legal representative and will be defending the claim themselves. In the same letter Pursuant to the CPR insofar as litigants are expected to try and resolve their disputes wherever possible they state they are willing to accept a reduced settlement charge if paid within 14 days otherwise they will continue with their claim.
I presume this is a standard letter and is a positive, because why would they offer to settle for less if they feel they have a strong case? I'd welcome any feedback in the usual way please.0 -
No it isn't a positive its very much part of the process2

@Grizebeck thanks. Considering I've established I was within the hotels demise when the alleged event occurred, in your opinion should I ask them to supply the contract they have with the hotel that allows them to fine their customers at this stage?0

It is not a fine.
The template defence already includes "no landowner authority" but yes, you should put the claimant to strict proof they have a contract with or flowing from the landowner not only to operate, but one that permits them to issue charges.
What happened when you complained to the landowner/hotel manager/hotel chain CEO?I married my cousin. I had to...I don't have a sister.All my screwdrivers are cordless."You're Safety Is My Primary Concern Dear" - Laks2
