Bah.

Got an email from my solictor today, she says the other side have applied to have the judgement against them 'set aside' - meaning that the full court case to settle liability still has to go ahead before we can settle the issue of compensation. So that's a pain in the arse.

I remain fairly confident about the whole thing - I was doing nothing wrong when the guy drove his car into my path, and I think that should be fairly obvious from the testimony describing the accident circumstances - but it would have been nice to have had it settled and done with. Not because I'm worried about how the court case will go, but because I'm pissed off that they have the cheek to claim and continue claiming that I could be partially responsible for his mistake - which, let us not forget, could have bloody killed me. Grrr.

Already has submitted, yes - that's his entire case, pretty much. That and the notion that I saw him in plenty of time to avoid him and uh, chose not to.

Given that the whole thing purely comes down to my word vs his, I did assume that there wasn't much a judge could do other than hear the case, if either side insists.

and uh, chose not to.

Could any sane person actually believe that you would have chosen to not avoid that collision?

Ask me again after the court case.
