Evidence for hearing

[Juststopamoment]

I have a DRA Grandparents access hearing coming up. I have a huge amount of evidence against the applicants, I am the respondent mother. The problem is that the court order, that was based on the draft order that the applicants solicitor drew up, has said that all statements submitted must be signed and dated. I have a lot of statements that came through after a non molestation hearing that I had against the grandmother (ended 2017). The evidence was dated then and but most were not signed. This includes an emailed statement that a police officer sent that proves that she lies to her family. He gave me permission to use it then. I can’t really go back and ask them to sign them. Does this mean that the statements are inadmissible? Or is there any way around this? Also I have an apology from a senior coroner and other things like that that I was going to use. Can I not use them now unless I go back and ask them to sign and resubmit? Thanks.

Just to add I have no recent evidence because we haven’t seen them in two years and so our lives have been very stress free.

Attach them to your statement. They aren't statements that were in contemplation of these proceedings anyway, but the court will treat them seriously enough. If the other side disputes their authenticity the judge will give guidance on what needs to be done to authenticate them.

That’s a relief. Thank you Collaborate.

Also if the applicant supplied an email that she sent to her family for evidence in the non molestation order can I then use that email for this hearing or would I need her permission, which obviously won’t happen, so I won’t be able to use it.
