        Hi everyone! Wow, feels like forever ago since I wrote...

        Court date is the 31st this month, so I'm sending my witness statement today/Monday

        So I've more or less got my witness statement together - I just wanted to know...if I haven't revealed the driver (I'm being taken to court as keeper, not driver), should I continue to make the statement as keeper. i.e. at so-and-so date, THE DRIVER stopped their car...etc etc

        Does that make sense?

        Also, do I have to reference in the witness statement everything I wish to rely on in court, or is it enough to simply reference it in the contents page?

        Thanks for all the help so far!

              Hiya!
              They had asked for that in their DQ but I pre-empted based on advice and rejected their request for special directions
              Apparently, it was textbook Gladstones to request it

                If part of your defence is that the car malfunctioned, forcing you to stop, maybe you could squeeze in to your argument that there was no intention to create legal relations, a necessary concept for the formation of a contract. Although the usual presumption in commercial contracts is that there is an intention, it can be rebutted.

                      Yes.

                      Not sure what you mean by reference. I'd just put it in to be honest. No point trying to look like a chancer when the main defence is that you weren't driving, you really need the judge to believe you are being honest on that.

                            I won!!!!
                            Well, my counterclaim was dismissed. My CC was based on Parking Prankster's wording - apparently the judge was convinced that at the time of the event the Claimant had enough reason to believe a contract existed between myself and them and it would be unfair for me to expect Claimant to first conclude there was a contract agreement (that's arguably the judge's job I guess) before pursuing the DVLA for my details.


                            The Claimant's claim however, lost on the following counts:
                            1. Grace period was, according to the Claimant's evidence, 3 minutes, which isn't enough time to pull up, get out of the car, read the terms and leave
                            2. Forbidding language on the signs - the largest sign saying NO CUSTOMER PARKING AT ANY TIME. This is echoed in the Claimant's sign.


                            So case dismissed!


                            BTW, the Gladstone's rep was a Mr Akbol. I don't recall the judges name sadly! But a lovely fellow - he even stepped down to view my recorded video of the signage >.<


                            No costs were awarded to either party either, so £24.00 for parking lost, which is annoying. Next time I'll be taking the train! (Hopefully there isn't a next time). In total, I think it was a full 2 hours - I made it out in time to retrieve my car without incurring any parking tickets!


                            I want to say a massive thank you to everyone for all the help!!! What an experience!!

                                Haha yes, one would think so!

                                I don't believe I was forceful with my counterclaim, which if I was might have won it for me. Alas, I was just amazed that the case was going my way already! It was like the judge had seen enough of their so-called claims!

                                Just checking - I left there pretty sharpish after the judge said he'd made his decision and we were done. After a quick thank you from me, I bolted. Should I have received anything in terms of confirmation of judgement??
