3 private parking tickets being pursued for all 3 and had a ccj claim made

[b789]

There is nothing controversial about this at all. The court has ordered the parties to try to agree a trial bundle and BW Legal have simply produced a proposed index.

You don't need to "learn" any of it. The index is just a contents page telling the judge what documents will be in the bundle and in what order. It is not evidence and it does not change either party's case.

The only things you need to check are:

• Does it include every document you intend to rely on?
  
• Is anything missing?
  
• Is anything listed inaccurately?
  
• Does it include documents that shouldn't be there?
  

Looking at what they've produced, I can already see one obvious issue. They have listed your witness statements, but they haven't listed your authorities (Liberty Homes, Brennan, VCS v Edward etc.). If the court order requires an authorities section or you intend to rely on those cases, they should be included in the bundle rather than leaving the judge to hunt for them.

I'd also check that all of your exhibits are actually included, particularly the original site boundary map. Given the claimant has now produced a different map with what appears to be an altered red boundary, I would absolutely want both versions before the judge for comparison.

As for Brentford's email, reply to it rather than guessing. It appears to be that the court requires a paper copy because the electronic bundle exceeds its page limit. If BW Legal already have an electronic copy (which they plainly do, because they list both of the defendant's witness statements in the proposed bundle index), there is no reason to serve them with another hard copy unless the court order specifically requires it.

I'd suggest you reply to the court along these lines:

Thank you for your email.

Please could you confirm:

  1. Whether the court requires a single hard copy for the court file only, or whether multiple copies are required.

  2. The address to which the hard copy should be sent or delivered.

  3. Whether the court would prefer the documents to be delivered by hand or sent by post.

As the claimant has already been served electronically with my witness evidence and has acknowledged receipt by including it within the proposed trial bundle, I assume only a single hard copy for the court is required. However, I should be grateful if you could confirm the above so that I comply fully with the court's request.

That avoids unnecessary printing and puts the question back to the court. If they reply saying "please provide three copies", then do that. If they simply want one for the judge/court file, one copy is sufficient.
