I'm sorry Mystic I did miss it. My wife went into hospital around that time so while I read your WS I missed the Excel case and never had the time to respond to your WS. Fortunately Dave has done pretty much what I would have done though I would have added the point I made on post 117 . It's partly to embarrass UKPC in the hope that they withdraw the case and if they don't perhaps the Judge might query their truthful declaration. And I would still use the fact that being broken down is not parking as well as creating a frustration of contract. The Judge in Jopson v Homeguard spells out quite clearly what parking is and is not.

You need to title your exhibits - EXHIBIT 1, EXHIBIT 2, etc. - and add them to the end of the WS. You can use the attached as EXHIBIT 3, you just need the one page, not the whole CoP. The WS and the five exhibits need to be e-mailed to both the court and UKPC. You might as well hang on till Sunday just in case the other regulars have ideas. 17_extracted_Version91.2.2024.pdf

I wonder if Government ministers were aware of there being issues with the Horizon system at the time prosecutions were taking place. And senior Post Office Management are relying on Government not wanting there to be criminal investigations that go too far. As those Ministers may be dragged into it. I find it difficult to believe that nobody in Government had knowledge at the time of remote access and poor robustness of Horizons accounts systems.
