@LDast so he was quoting clauses he said was in my lease that he said stated that the management company could employ 3rd parties as they saw fit to manage the estate but the paragraph he kept referring the judge to didn't exist in my document. (we had 2 judges on the day) The 1st judge then dismissed us - i did like that particular judge - then we had to wait to be 'seen' by another judge who seemed more willing to entertain the defense council as they seemed to know each other from working other cases.
Unfortunately he says he will be at the next hearing with the same defense counsel.

You keep writing defence Council; have you employed a legal person or do you mean the council for claimant? You are the defendant unless you have counterclaimed.  Management companies cannot employ PPCs without going through a ballot in line with landlord and tenant act.

Apologies 🙈 I meant the counsel for the claimant

I've been up against legal reps who are very familiar with the Judge (embarrassingly over-pally and ingratiating) but I still won.

It's all about the law & facts as you state them on the day. Be confident but not over-confident. Be ready for curve balls and questioning.

I've just been looking through the claimant's exhibits - one of which is a site plan and they have claimed to have a permit warning sign in a location where they have none. Should I bring that up?
Also they have no parking signs at the entrance to the car park but not sure if that's relevant to resident's parking.

Both are VERY VERY relevant.
