Got my evidentiary hearing coming up on the 1st of April.Unexpectedly received a rather plain looking letter this morning headed 'Inventory of productions for defender'No mention of who it's from or who i have to send it to?Or even if i really have to send it?Its for a case against a guy who painted my car.It asks for 1)Diary of events2)Before and after pictures of work(might struggle for before ones)3)Advert(thi smust mean ad i placed looking for someone to do the job and what i wanted done)and finally 4)Receipt.Any advice appreciated.Thanks.

There are a couple of things i find confusing about this being a complete layman to the workings of the law.First of all the way this seems to be playing out is like i was about to play a game of poker,and before i play a card i tell my opponent exactly what hands i'm going to play?If you understand what i mean?I really thought boths side just scuttled off seperately,sorted out their defence/accusations and meet on the court date!So if i send the pics i have of the paintwork/paperwork etc i'm basically going to turn up at court with nothing!Seems odd to me.What if they get lost in the post??
There are also a couple of products i gave him to use on the car which were crucial to make the job good,he didn't use these and i now have them back in my possesion,what do i do with these,they are tins of paint??But they are crucial to prove he wasn't interested in doing the job he said he would do in the first place.

Popped down to see a lawyer this afternoon.When i showed her the letter about the productions she agreed with me it didn't look very official,and definetly hadn't come from a lawyer!She thought that it looked like he(the defendant) had maybe decided to go it alone and dump his lawyer,which would make sense as at the preliminary hearing i have never seen a more flustered,nervous looking lawyer in my life!!,filled me with confidence no end!:-)
So basically she told me to send two copies of my inventory,one to the defendant and one to the sherrif's court.
