    Dear All, 

    Successfully submitted defence ontime and also received an acknowledgement by post. 

    What would be the next steps/ actions and timelines/ deadlines that i should be taking care of. 

    Should i wait to hear from them for 2 months as mentioned on the original post? If nothing happens for a specific period - should i be doing something on my end.

    Thanks in advance!!!

    The first 12 steps are in the Template Defence thread, designed to stop people having to ask us for the next steps on every court claim thread.

    Keep following that checklist you were using when you filed your Defence.

    You're at WS & evidence stage (not defence). Re-read the IMPORTANT: KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN section in the second post of the NEWBIES thread.

    Show us your draft WS after reading a good four or five WS from RECENT Gladstones threads here. Particularly search for RECENT results for:

    Gladstones Witness Statement

    or

    paralegal Witness Statement

    Thankyou very much - but really struggling to find a witness statement format - but wanted to add additional context - the hearing date is for 25th June. Not sure if I am late to send in my witness statement.

    Context - the parking location is the same as Matise Road, Holloway Street, Hounslow cases we have on the forum.

    Above is the WS from Gladstone with further pictures shown below:

    1 . I had parked there for less then 3 mins to drop a package to the Royal Mail Delivery Office just opposite the parking location in question

    2. My car was parked outside of the white boxes indicated - clearly identified

    3. My car was even left unlocked as you can see my car mirrors are unfolded and they fold up when locked indicating it was short parking - also the Royal Mail office parking was blocked due to ongoing works as indicated.

    Please could you help with any similar ones - i have spent over 2 hours going thru all the historical cases but need a pointer to the right format to start with.

    Thankyou.

    Did you copy & paste my suggested searches and change results to NEWEST (not 'best match' useless historical ones)?

    Thankyou very much - followed the instructions and was able to pickup 3 of the most recent cases and pickup those that are relevant to my case. 

    Please could you cast an eye and let me know if there are obvious issues/ exhibits that I may be missing.

    Also, i have missed out my court letter on the hearing but i know that its on 25th - any advise on how to find out the time and also the address to send out the witness statement.
