Free Traffic Legal Advice

Thank you. I did not receive the notice explaining the 14-day deadline, but I have now sent my witness statement. I have been honest throughout and have said everything truthfully, so now it is in the judge’s hands. When I wrote the appeal, I copied a draft I found online because I did not really understand the process or what I was doing at the time.

My husband was driving. He has always lived abroad.
He was visiting me during those days.

Hope you are doing well!

I have my hearing on 10/04/26. I have received today the claimant's witness statement. In my defence, I said my husband was driving the car. They now say that in the PCN appeal I said "I parked the car" so I changed what exactly occurred.

I have not received any correspondence from the court saying I have to fill out a WS.

Could you please advise me?

Many thanks?

Hi @b789,

Did the judge read the skeleton argument?

No, because when I asked her, she said she was going to grant the set aside, so she does not need the skeleton argument.

Was the other side represented at all?

No, they were not.

What exactly happened? What about your costs for the application?

The judge was rushing. My hearing was pushed back because the judge had a team's hearing, and she overran the previous hearing.

She said:

She conceded the set aside, but I need to present a defence in 28 days. She ordered the claimant to pay me the fee, and she suggested me to look for legal advice.

She ordered the claimant to pay me the £303

What exactly did the judge say about the claimant needing to send amended PoC?

Nothing, it is just me asking you.

I am still confused if the claimant can send a new POC.

I wasn’t expecting all this, @b789.
This is absolutely perfect
Thank you so much for your support!
I’ll keep you posted.

Hi @b789 and all.

Hope you're doing well.

My hearing is in person on Monday, 28/04/2025. I have received a hard copy of my application from the court and an email from the claimant's solicitors with their witness statement attached.

1. Should I print extra copies of my application and the claimant's witness statement to bring with me on Monday?

The hearing is scheduled for 15 minutes, and the claimant will not be attending. When I present my case,

2. do I need to speak and show the exhibits at the same time?

Many thanks!!!

Since the N244 application has already been submitted, there’s no need to take further action on the name correction at this stage. The court will review the application as it stands, and you can bring up the name error if the issue arises in court or if you have the opportunity to submit further statements. For now, it’s best to wait for court directions or any instructions for the hearing.

Many thanks!
