Study other recent WS , plus the latest wins listed in the discontinuations thread by Umkomaas, plus other recent concluded cases, try using the search option with suitable keywords etc
There is a lot more to a WS than a short story anecdote, including adding suitable Exhibits and your Costs Assessment etc1 -
I know I'm being an absolute moron here, but I've searched and still can't find any WS examples/guidance other than people saying to search using keywords (which I've tried), filtering to "newest" etc.

The guidance is in the NEWBIES thread along with a list of recommended exhibits.
You should find examples if you search for
Witness Statement true
and change the results order to NEWEST.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Gr1pr said:Another one for the thread of shame by @Umkomaas ( ECP , DCB Legal )Thank you @HairyPrincess for the copy of your NoD. I can now get this counted in the DCBL Legal thread of shame. 👍Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

We will discuss this more over the coming weeks but IMHO the two vital policy matters are:
- to BAN debt recovery fees completely, making the industry pay for the dubious they 'service' of third party letters (or keep cases in house and follow the pre-action phase themselves, like several PPCs already do)
- to bring in a new and independent Single Appeals Service (funded by the industry) to replace POPLA and especially the IAS which MUST be banned.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
