    Thanks for that Coupon-mad.

    I'll keep this in mind once I get the chance to write my witness statement.

    My defence has been referred to a hearing in Northwest London.

    I'm waiting for the appointment letter.

    In the meantime, what should I prepare for and what should I avoid in the hearing?
