Claim for damages against Timothy Denman
I have today sent a pre-action letter to Timothy Denman of Charvil claiming damages for the assault in Twyford on 12th December last year. I have given him 28 days to respond before I sue.
I will be very interested to see the outcome of this; many cyclists across the nation are assaulted in one way or another on a regular basis but this is the first time that I have heard of a private prosecution against a perpetrator.
Claim One Million Pounds so as to get the "publicity" , this will warn other drivers to be more careful and tolerant to cyclists

ReplyDeleteFingers crossed. Have you considered contacting the CTC to help publicise the action?

ReplyDeleteBit of a delay getting my medical evidence in order but I started proceedings against Denman in the Slough County Court on 9th November
