Writing a witness statement

[Sterling]

Hello. I am the claimant in a case against a secondhand vehicle dealer and have a online trial coming up in May. I am starting to format my witness statement and would appreciate some guidance please.
My claim involves 3 separate grievances with the vehicle and these are shown on my POC form. I take it that each grievance should be treated separately but should I write a separate witness statement for each or should I just write the one with sub headings for each grievance.
Many thanks.

One statement, with subheadings.

Put your statement in a clear structured order, with numbered paragraphs. Cross refer clearly to any documents.

Good morning. May I ask what some might consider an obvious question. When writing my witness statement, how should I refer to the Defendant. If I write 'I sent the Defendant a letter' can I then refer to him as 'he' for the rest of the paragraph or should it be 'the Defendant' every time. Many thanks

I personally would stick with Defendant throughout, here's a useful guide -
