With mine once Evri had agreed to pay the full amount they sent the payment within two weeks of me sending my bank details (in case this helps with your timelines).

Update for anyone interested - Evri have offered to pay the full amount. Today (before the court dates even been set) Evri emailed saying as a gesture of good will they’ll pay £127.39 - the value of the package plus postage. I immediately turned them down stating I was looking for court fees as well. Within a hour they came back with the full amount . I wasn’t expecting not to hear anything from them until we had a court date set and close to that day, so this was a good surprise today. Happy to help others in similar positions with Evri if you need it!

Thanks! Both attached here - claim-form-claimant-copy .pdf395MC244-claim-response (2).pdf

Hi Everyone, I'm currently going through the process of the court claim for Evri (and i'm very grateful for this forum!). Quick background but it's pretty standard to all the others on here - - Evri lost a parcel containing a ring sold on ebay for £123 - Evri arguing that they don't owe the value because I didn't purchase additional insurance - This one was directly through Evri (no 3rd party) I've read up a lot and understand all the arguments. My confusion however is the difference between the witness statement and the skeleton argument - and when to share what. I'm at the stage now where the court want the following - Send all of the documents that are relevant to your case to the court at the above address, also send them to the other side. Both parties must do this.These documents should be placed in date order and should be numbered in the bottom right hand corner. You should include the following documents if available:  A copy of the contract/agreement  Relevant correspondence, including text messages and emails Send to the court and send to the other party your own witness statement and also witness statements from anyone who can give Before 4pm 26 June 2023 Page 1 of 2 relevant evidence about your case. Both parties must do this. A witness statement must  have the court case number at the top  start with the witness’ name and address  it must contain numbered paragraphs and should be typed and double spaced. If not typed, it must be written clearly in block capitals or printed.  finish with the words “I believe the facts set out above to be true. I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in its truth”, the date of the statement and the person’s signature. The original statement must be sent to the court and copies must be sent to the other side. I've already created my skeleton argument and court bundle but this is not the stage for that I think? So I've just created this witness statement based on a previous one on here, but it doesn't feel enough (especially compared with the skeleton which breaks down everything and there insurance argument). Could someone have a quick look and let me know (I've removed any personal identification for this copy). Also for a side note that I didn't realise when I submitted the claim. The ring sold for £123 (and I have the proof of this from ebay), this is the amount I opened the claim for plus postage cost and court costs. However, what I didn't realise is that when I did post it I put the value as £120. I know its only £3 difference as at the time I probably just rounded it - any advise on what to do here? Hopefully they won't look at this different because of that value difference? Thanks all for your help! Really appreciate is. Witness Statement - Forum.docx
