Yes absolutely that! And the fact the judge could see they were just being unreasonable and wasting court time. Can't believe they actually took it all the way to court stage! Shows how defiant they are when trying to intimidate and extract money from people.
Glad it's over - thank you b789 for your help!

Just wanted to say went to court  and the Judge dismissed the case within about 5 minutes.
Said they had broken the rules and not followed proper practice, not being clear from the off set. Such a drawn out faff and stressful at times but just glad the judge saw right through it all!
Thanks for all the help

Hi there, thank you so much for your time and help. So appreciated.

I'm making the changes to the points you mention now and I'll try figure out how to send via google drive.
Just a couple of things: Paragraphs 18-14 where you said tie this with requirements to forming a contract - sorry a bit lost with this bit - how should I write it?
When searching for section 5 of the private parking code gov uk says guidance was withdrawn on 7th June 22 ? And the ICP code of practice was updated in Feb this year when my case spans back to feb of last year? Which should I include?

Should I change the subheadings through out and move the paragraphs according to what you've done?

Thanks so much

Thanks for your reply.Yes I only received notice of allocation and the claimants witness statement about 2 weeks ago and haven't had time to prep this due to work and home life. The claimant has until 4pm 5th June to pay the court fee or file a properly completed application - so the day after my witness deadline.
I have compiled my witness statement if you could read through this instead for me. Any feedback  would be appreciated. The court have stipulated to send it via email so I'll also email it to the  solicitors but do you think I should send a hard copy to the solicitors today just incase they won't accept an email(Ive seen that on a thread somewhere)!
Note: The exhibits I've included are that of the Chan & Akande case and a copy of bank statement showing payment. I haven't uploaded these.

Private parking tickets / URGENT WITNESS STATEMENT - HELP NEEDED
« on: June 02, 2025, 12:07:14 pm »
Hi - first time posting so apologies if any errors! After having followed advice off here and another forum we are now at the witness stage and need to submit by Weds 4th June 4pm but am really struggling with where to start and how to word things as I don't want to miss anything out and a lot of it is all jargon  if I'm honest :-\
In a nutshell we parked on land managed by CPM. We paid £2 for parking via phone and of which we thought covered what we needed. I think it was 50p Per hr but can't remember as it was back in Feb 24. However have since found it's 80p Per hr but no idea if this has been updated since. Regardless we felt we had still covered our parking. The first PCN stated 'failure to park for duration of stay'. The POC form just states parked in breach of the terms of parking stipulated on the signage so we had no idea if a) they thought we hadn't paid anything b)they were saying we hadn't paid enough. We ignored and followed the procedure submitting a defence etc. At mediation stage the mediator stated that the claimant was alleging we hadn't paid as they had no record of it. We explained we had and said we had proof of payment via a bank statement. The mediator said this was good but maybe we had inputted the wrong car registration or the wrong ID location and if we could show proof we hadn't we would be in a good position. Well we couldn't prove this. However we knew we had paid and didn't offer any settlement figure. HOWEVER now at witness stage and their witness statement declares their records show £2 payment, but that we entered at 11.10am paid at 11.39am until 1.40pm but we left at 1.30pm and they're saying we haven't paid enough as 20mins of parking isn't paid!. How on earth can this now be changed upon witness statement? Surely they had to declare this at mediation so we would have happily offered the extra 80P payment! Is this allowed? Im also aware of consideration periods and grace periods. Here are the links to the POC form and the defence we submitted.

PLEASE HELP WITH THIS FINAL STEP as we really can't loose this sham! Thanks in advance
