The OP on this thread could request a copy of their defence from CCBC/MCOL and we can then see definitively what it actually is.

Thank you for the replies, i did use the defence template on here, although a maximum amount of characters on the court website restricted me so I didn't use the full wording.

The text I posted is copied from the mcol website where I accessed my defence details, so it did take a lot more than 1,080 char. I think it's maybe 1,080 words, that's what I believe I saw when I entered my defence, I also emailed the court the full defence, reference details along with images.
