Claim No: IL-2024-000036 - [2025] EWHC 2172 (Ch)

On behalf of the Defendants, two witness statements were submitted by Mr Hill, and two by the Defendants’ former solicitor, Ms Lindsay Gledhill. On behalf of Mrs Lish, I received one witness statement from Mrs Lish, and three from her solicitor, Ms Kelly Hudson. I remarked at the hearing that much of the solicitors’ witness statements was submission and I would treat it as such. There was also significant repetition of what Mr Hill and Mrs Lish had said in their statements: this was unnecessary. Something does not become more likely to be true by having a legal practitioner repeat it.
