That's the old document, Jack.

Here's the new one:

Surely you have a solicitor you could ask?

OK jake, you are right

I quote the Ed's directive written above:
Please also refrain from being rude, abusive or judgemental - users come here for advice, not judgement.

Just come back, so not sure what happened.
Sorry if you took my "lump of coal" comment in the wrong way. I was only having a giggle, and lightening the mood... though probably not the best time for you.
As I said, I would strongly suggest speaking to your solicitor regarding this. They'd be the best ones who could advise you. Failing that, there's a very helpful lady on here, Barmaid, who may be able to help you out.

Good luck! :-)

Get a lawyer, GingeGJ.

I can't believe you have been a Head Boy of a school, as I would expect somebody in that position to have a reasonable level of English comprehension and grammar.

Not perfect, but reasonable, is all we are asking. It does matter in how you present your case, so if you have been negligent here, ok, but please ensure that any statements to the court or you legal team are well constructed and coherent.
