My advice,
Do not attend court.. you would like to think justice will prevail, however, the reality is the cheapest legal representation will be used, they will pitch up with only glancing at things for a few seconds and then a farcical and entirely random hearing will take place where everything from obvious lies to misrepresenting everything will ensue..
My dad had someone hit him from behind at some red lights on a roundabout, he insisted on going to court because they claimed he had put the car in reverse and hit them.. my mum was also in the car, so there was no disputing reality.. In court, the solicitor came in hurried only just reading the notes then, and it turned out the actual person driving sent his father in pretending he was the driver, and since their solicitor was better prepared, and their lies quite convincing, they claimed my mum wasn't in the car, and won the case on the assertion as my dad was 60 he therefore had a senior moment and mistook reverse for 1st.. the outcome was the bumper damage turned into £7k of damage..
That absolutely devastated my dad.. it rocked his world view about other people and he was never the same again.. he wished he never went or heard about it, he’d rather just have sat at home and been ignorant about the court ruling.
