    Thank you. Gr1pr. Ive read through the documents. I don’t have witness statements. I don’t know what documents I should be relying on in court. What would these be and how should they shared with the court and claimant? Has anyone got experience of this please? Thank you

    The WS deadline is given on your paperwork, you must work out the date from the instructions based on the hearing date

    Full advice on the WS plus Exhibits bundle stage is given in the newbies sticky thread in announcements near the top of the forum, in the 2nd post

    Read post 2 of the NEWBIES thread.

    So many posters fail to read the section underneath 'IMPORTANT: KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN' which I spent hours putting together, including recommended exhibits. Please read it.

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
    CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:
