       Court Hearing Witness Statement NPM received

       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 :

       attached WS. Need to send it before today's closing time. Pls
       have a look and advice on what needs to be removed or add. Also
       if unable to attend court, how to correctly word.

       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.
