Hi Gr1, Just had a delivery of the 88 page document for court on Monday.  I have not received any information not to attend court so i assume the Judge will go through this paperwork and rule accordingly, the lateness of documents to court and also to myself probably will not make any difference at all.  Thank you in advance.

That's the standard joint bundle. Saves you printing it!

Why do you assume their late WS won't matter? Nothing has changed. It DOES matter. Some judges would consider striking their WS out.

Raise it as a preliminary matter at the start.

Get to court half an hour early to get through security and do not speak to their rep about the case outside the courtroom. Polite "no"!

Thank you CM, hope you had a super holiday.

just back from court.  282.00 to pay in costs but he refused to award the interest as they hadn't bothered to break it down for ease.  I stated my case but the facts were against me and i felt if he could have thrown it out he would have.  He smiled when he said i recognise the witness statement and defence but at this time i cannot overturn it. Thanks for all your help but they won this time.

is this ok

Bad luck. Did UKPC send a rep?

The signs & lines must have been unusually clear enough, so the judge felt you shouldn't have parked there ... but why did he allow the added £70 extortion? That's usually easy to argue against as it isn't part of the contract and is double recovery by also claiming £50 costs.

Why is it £282 when the claim form says £255  ? Or is it a typo  ? Because a typical loss is around £212 , not £282

I did say why so expensive not using the phrase of double recovery.
He was willing me to say something impacting in my defence but i had nothing.  Just chatted about it.

You didn't voice the fact that adding £70 is disproportionate double recovery (as your defence said, if you used the template)?

It was all there with detailed reasons.

You didn't have 'nothing'. You had loads to say. Judges want you to say it.

Going to a hearing means voicing your points from defence. Sounds like he gave you every chance to ask for the £70 to be removed, which is a shame because you had that written in your defence and only needed to say it.

I'm so sorry it went this way.

Then you will have a CCJ for 6 years.
