What is in the file
The cover identifies the County Court at Barnstaple, claim L00BP152, and the hearing of 14 October 2025. The final page is dated 13 October 2025 and contains handwritten signatures. Mr J says this document was filed with the court under a statement of truth. The supplied summary is a party submission, not a transcript of what was said or a judgment.
The submission’s exact words
Page 2, paragraph 2 — the defendant’s allegation:
The Claimant’s solicitor, Mr Luke Cornwell of Seldons LLP, has admitted in writing to self-forwarding and editing a National Grid email chain that he later filed under a statement of truth.
Page 5, final paragraph — the defendant’s assessment of the explanation:
The explanation later offered — that this was “redaction” — was retrospective and untenable.
The supporting material identified
Page 5 refers to an “Evidential Challenge: National Grid Fabrication” as Annex E. The annex appearing on pages 25–26 is headed as a formal accusation, not a reproduced Cornwell reply. Page 26 identifies the primary exhibits as sent separately. The original written explanation is not included here.
How to read these quotations
They reproduce the submission’s allegations, not an admission we have read in Mr Cornwell’s own reply and not a finding by the court. The supplied copy does not display a statement-of-truth declaration for the summary; that filing description is Mr J’s account. The article uses the passages to identify what was challenged, then asks for the records needed to test it.
