[Themalibukid]

Expect to be taken to withIn a couple of weeks of your date, I know exactly how you are feeling as I doubted the strength of my case and myself yet when the Notice of discontinuation letter arrived I was gutted and felt cheated out of my day.

 

Remember you are a number in their production line and apart from a couple of stamps they have had no significant outlay, so why wouldn’t they keep going in the hope that your bottle goes !

Good Luck

[WoodDD]

Thank you all.

 

The letter from the court asked me to submit my witness statements before September 8, which is also the deadline for VCS if they wish to cancel the proceeding. I'll read the thread mentioned here to get some tips writing my witness statements. Will ask for more help in due course

 

In the meantime, stay safe.

If you could post it up here as pdf then suggestions can be made if any fettling needed.

[dx100uk]

it doesn't say cancel the proceeding at all...

please carefully read the court directions carefully.

 

what date has their fee to be paid? before a strike out

dx

[WoodDD]

4 September.

[dx100uk]

really.... they don't have to pay the hearing fee until 4 days before the court date

...you sure?

its normally weeks 

[WoodDD]

The court date is 6 Oct.

[ericsbrother]

hearing fee will have to be paid before the final date for exchange of docs

the 4 days you mention is 4 days before you have to submit anything. 

 

Now I would keep an eagle eye on the calendar and write to the court if they havent obviously paid the fee by that date ( check online to see if they have paid) and if they are late you are unlikely to get a strike out but you are likely to get a costs order if you ask for it as an addition to your WS

[WoodDD]

The court fee has to be paid by 4pm on 04/09. The witness statements have to be submitted by 08/09.

 

Should I wait until 04/09 to write my witness statements?

 

Thanks.

[dx100uk]

no

We recommend getting all of your evidence together well before the court/WS submission dates. A WS takes more than a day for most people to write and have it refined here prior to sending. Best not to leave it to the last minute.

[ericsbrother]

for the second time :

get it drafted but do not send anything before that date and wait for theirs to arrive first

[WoodDD]

Time to draft my witness statement

 

VCS has not paid yet.

 

Any tips on witness statement? Thanks

[dx100uk]

loads of PCN claimform witness statement here

use our search to right

[lookinforinfo]

if you want to read a comprehensive WS try this thread below -post 228 contains the actual defence, but it is worth reading the whole thread. Bear in mind that if you do a really good WS it is more than likely that the parking company will discontinue rather than be torn to shreds by the Judge.

 

[brassnecked]

Yes thereis some golden stuff in that thread, VCS are on borrowed time, if they do try a few more with their rubbish POC.

[WoodDD]

Called my local court today. They confirmed VCS had actually paid the court fee. The case is definitely going ahead then. I'll spend a bit time to draft my witness statement at the weekend.

Silly question please.

 

What's the difference between 'Defence' and 'Witness Statement' in content and structure?

 

[dx100uk]

defence is what you filed months ago

 

witness statement is expanding upon each point of your defence and anything the claimant brings up in their WS

 

the example given above is 100% good to follow.

 

as for a WS on a PNC claimform..you throw everything including the kitchen sink in yours.

 

 

 

[WoodDD]

Thank you @dx100uk.

 

I have not yet received WS from VCS. Should I wait for it?

[lookinforinfo]

Yes with one proviso-that you have to get your WS 14 days before the hearing regardless of  WS from VCS. However they should have sent theirs to you before your deadline.

[dx100uk]

so in may your were told to get it done.

 

where is it?

 

dx

 

[WoodDD]

Sorry, life seemed to be more complicated than I had hoped.

I don't have chance to look into this matter.

I'll have to get it done now.

 

Cheers

 

[WoodDD]

First attempt. Please correct for any errors and mistakes.

 

Thank you very much!

Looks belt & braces and well reasoned, just needs the other team members to have a look and suggest if anything needs changing or deleting.
