Challenging witness statement

[Neave2019]

Hello,
I have received the claimants witness statements in preparation for the hearing, however there are a number of inaccuracies and untruths within the statements.
I have evidence to prove some of the untruths such as text messages etc.
My question is how do I effectively challenge these statements and ensure the judge has visibility of my additional evidence. Can I submit a supplemental witness statement or can I take copies into the hearing with me and wait to see what happens in cross examination? I don’t want to turn up with more evidence and annoy the judge but I believe I need to challenge the lies within their statements as it can impact the judgement.
Thank you*

If you believe the witness statement is incorrect, it is very important that you challenge it. Providing a false witness statement is a serious offence and if you can successfully contest it in court, it will help your case. Judges appreciate bundles and court documents provided in a logical order before the hearing begins. Therefore, I would advise preparing a supplementary witness statement before you attend court that outlines the discrepancies within the claimant's witness statement. To make your statement reader-friendly and to make your arguments clear, label the screenshots of the text messages and other messages so you can refer back to them. Best of luck with your hearing.
