Court Hearing Witness Statement NPM received
« on: »
Hi all

My family member is the registered keeper.

The NtK was received on 7th Oct 2024 and I advised him to search here for guidance. The defence was submitted on 14th July 2025. I looked into the defence and it was standard POC CPR replies found here. Received Witness Statement on 20th Feb and hearing is on 13th March. Initially the hearing was in Bromley court but received another notice of trial date dated 16th Jan 2026 from Bromley court to be held in Wandsworth.

Anyway looking for advice on how best to word defence witness statement. One strange thing is claimant claiming that defendant's defence has not been received.

I'll post WS and other related later as ImgBB is not working atm and also can't seem to find the option to attach files directly.

Not sure if drive links will work here but anyway whole folder : Drive Folder

Appointment was for 10:00 today but looks like court is too busy as they're saying it'll be at least 15:00 for hearing. Other party is also present and both agreed to walk out for another day's hearing. Too much hassle and not worth the time effort.

Did the court agree to this?

If not, the judge may just strike out both the claim and defence under 27.9 of the Civil Procedure Rules, which would seem to be advantageous to your family member.

Is said family member sure that the claimant's representative definitely left and will not attend?

No and both were called soon after. He was asked to read skeleton argument and judge dismissed the claim.Dont have anymore details at the moment but the skeleton was a patched up version from one of the thread here. Will update once have more details.

I was not very helpful as defence was based on Entrance sign and PoC defects.
