The shops don't have CCTV, but I'm confident about the witnesses - they are people who work in the shops. I'll get them to give me statements & drop the whole lot in the lap of my insurance broker. [/quote]
Really sorry to hear about the damage to your lovely car Giles but glad to hear there was no injury involved.
This has to be the right approach Giles, he sounds arrogant in the extreme and maybe will not have thought it through by preparing his defence as you have although you were the innocent party.
Last years altercation when my Sport was written off I handed it all over to Headley/Hiscox (no witnesses) without saying a word to the other party other than the necessary interchange of details, this resulted in settlement in full plus excess returned and an intact NCD all within 3 weeks.
Good Luck with this scrote.
