    Council Tax is an interesting one. Does your mother get the single person’s discount - or are there other adults there that means she doesn’t. 

    Or is the SPD lost because you are there? 
    They would be classed as a visitor for census purposes as it is not their main residence.

  • Also, at the first hearing I won, their phony solicitor, David Blake who said in court he owned the company gave me a verbal agreement after I won saying that I could be on a blocked list and gave me permission to park in a visitor's space without needing to display a permit. I wrote confirmation of this to Gladstones also. 

    I didn't even get onto this point in the second hearing, the judge had already made up his mind, so if they want to go back to another hearing this is another point which I will raise on top of everything else.

    Mention that.

    I think you need to put together a written response to the appeal that summarises the issues you wish to verbalise which is why you must insist on attending, with the Overriding Objective at the forefront if your mind because the Appellant is mistaken at best, with the full picture of what happened at the hearings.

    See what @bargepole says if he sees this. Not sure if it is a Respondent's Notice.

    Thats at the appeal hearing itself this is a verbal application to appeal

    @Coupon-mad it's all detailed in both WS. The thing is that response from the court seems to advise that I am not expected to be there unless I am interpreting that wrong, even though I told them I wish to be present and be able to speak.

    The court seems to advise that I should not be present. Unless I am interpreting that incorrectly?
  • @Coupon-mad @Grizebeck here are the links to the redacted WS

    Redacted WS for dispute resolution hearing-
  • @Coupon-mad the second WS is a lot more detailed and covers more ground including some things that happened after the dispute resolution hearing so is almost impossible to mark out the differences.

    At my hearing the Claimant was given permission to appeal.  I did look at what I would have to do if they decided to appeal.  If the right to appeal is granted then you will have the right to respond at the appeal hearing. There are various options open to a respondent.

    As the judge in my hearing had given permission for the Claimant to appeal it would have gone straight to an appeal hearing and missed the stage that your claim is at the moment. They did not appeal but I had to prepare for the possibility that they would and I would have responded very robustly.
