    I've done the new shorter template defence.

    Can I ask a question please? 
    I was told by a representative of the landowner that they could do nothing to help me because they no longer had Smart Parking on the site. 
    I was told by another representative that they indeed were the landowners and Smart Parking were still the operatives on the Society's behalf. The local council also confirmed both the landowner and that Smart Parking were still the car park operatives.

    I would very much like to make a complaint to the employee, who was asked to deal with this by the CEO, which I initially emailed. She misled me. 

    I am not sure if any of this can be brought up in my evidence. It is just plain lying and I think this landowner needs naming and shaming.

    Concentrate on getting your Defence in and follow the required court procedures, then this should end in a discontinuation. Forget chasing sideshow issues. They hardly ever produce any positive result. 
    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.

    You're right. Was just feeling miffed yesterday. Thanks for giving me focus 😀

    Umkomaas is definitely right,  focus on the present and the future,  not the what ifs or wanting retribution or some form of justice,  self pity won't win this, dogged determination and following the process with advice from here is what counts

    Yeah, I know. Thank you. Needed to vent. I sent nothing, so all good. 

    My Claim Form date was 8th July, so service date I think is 13th July? So, I need to AoS by 27th? But not before tomorrow?

    Get the AOS done online on MCOL ASAP,  no need to wait once 5 days has elapsed,  today would be good 

    Then draft your template defence paragraphs in word or similar
