Yeah fine, thank you Ted.
Thanks for asking.
I know this thread has been going a year, and I know it's a bit long, but I really do feel that it's a good record of what happens after a prang and the hoops you have to jump through.
Hopefully, my next post on here will be to say something of what's been going on in Solicitor Land for these past few months.

Re: Off the Bike
Hope you get well soon Mick.
I imagine you have a good case for repairs paid by the relevant council. A friend did some thing similar on his multi thousand pound racing bike a few years ago. The council solicitors insisted he get a quote for his several hundred pound wheels to be repaired. The LBS quoted ove rdouble the original cost so they bought him new ones.

Re: Off the Bike
I received a letter from Russell Jones and Walker yesterday.
They've dropped the case.
Basically, after consultation and deep thought, they feel that they cannot pursue Cornwall County Council. Despite the evidence supplied, they do not believe a Court would obligate a Council to carry out more than a monthly inspection regime even if heavy rains had come. They note my comments, but still maintain that the Section 58 Defence will be met.
Oh well.
They add that I could take the case further with other solicitors, but I think I'll give up now.
