my witness statement for ccj hearing on the 28th nov

[s4mcr0]

ive done my witness statement for my upcoming court date, but do i need to SEND a copy to the court and the claimant before the court date or just arrive at the court on the day with a copy?? in the letter i received from the claimant i also had notice they wouldn't be attending the date.

Copy to court and claimant 7 days before ( if it's a supplemental witness statement ?)

Check your notification of the hearing to see when docs had to be with the court and claimant. Is this a parking matter?

Make sure you attend.

ive already had it set aside once. its moriarty law regards a payday loan by cfo they bought. i will be attending yes

If it is your Application to set aside then any evidence relied upon should have been served with the application (and if served by the Court that evidence should have been filed at court with copies for service) CPR 23.7(3).

If the evidence is in reply to evidence from the opposing party then it should be filed as soon as possible and in line with any directions. 7 days at the latest but if it could be filed earlier it should be so as not to attract criticism (claims of ambush). The Court will take a dim view of late evidence where there is no good reason and could either refuse it or adjourn at your expense with a costs order.

Also, why are the other side not attending? are they not opposing the application or seeking it be determined in their absence based on their evidence or a procedural point (which would indicate it is quite strong)

The witness statement is exactly the same as the one i had set aside in july. But they have reapplied for the judgment. As the courts have said they didn't receive my statement after the setaside
