    Its usually a human typo by the defendant,  try looking at the characters closely

    My Mac must have been having a funny 5 minutes all sorted now! I guess next step is to click on ‘start defence’ and crack on with that? Thanks for the step by step pdf that was so helpful 🙏🏼

    Nope you draft up your defence in Word or something similar,  then submit it with copy and paste when its a final draft

    Follow the 8 steps in the defence template thread in announcements

    No need to draft anything.

    The Gladstones/CEL para 3 is already written so no need to use Word IMHO.

    So are you saying to use this link (attached) as the template for my defence and edit it to suit my case? And then submit it on this chat for you kind folk to check? I’m sorry if I’m getting this wrong I have ADHD and autism and do struggle sometimes with understanding what seems like the most simple of things!

    Yes. That's the paragraph 3 to slot into the Template Defence.

    and edit it to suit my case?
    No.

    No thankyou. Please please don't.

    Hi all I think I’m almost ready to put the defence in. Before I do can I just check that this is the correct text (attached) to copy and paste into my defence (page also attached)? Thanks!
