he just has to prove he and Monica were manipulated
That is the intent he has to prove......
All he can prove is that Elaine was in the coffee shop the mail was sent from he can't prove anything else.
Sending an e-mail saying the Mc needs somewhere to stay is all she did. It's on him to prove way because that alone means less than shit and any defence lawyer that's so much as read a book about law would have that laughed out of court.
In order for that e-mail to be used as evidence of anything he would need proof Elaine sent it, CCTV footage showing she was there is circumstantial evidence and proves nothing beyond her being there.
Jo already admitted it was no longer an internet cafe as wasn't used as such so it can't be proven Elaine even sent the mail and boils down to he said she said which doesn't stand up in court.
He would also need to prove she has knowledge of all the contracts and was using that knowledge to sabotage him or even if it could be proven she sent the e-mail the defence will only argue she was going looking out for his best interest and trying to find him somewhere to live because their relationship was strained.
The lawyer handling the contracts won't back the MC up or he'd lose his job.
Spinning off from that, if Elaine was feeling particularly spiteful, she could then sue the MC for emotional damages this whole case has caused her and not only would he lose his case and court fee's but he'd have to pay Elaine damages on top of that because that case she would win.
Shit, I only studied for 2 years and i'd take both of those cases, easiest pay day ever. 2 days work, few grand in the bank and won't even need to put any effort in.
" You may hand over CCTV footage if the request is in relation to police investigations, legal proceedings/insurance purposes and subject access requests. Individuals can only be given access to CCTV if it captures them alone and no third parties. "
Madam I talk with the certainty of experience, when an employee of mine was killed my lawyer and insurance company gathered most of the evidence and turned it to the police., it is perfectly legal.
Without being bitchy, you just did my argument for me.
You may hand over CCTV footage in relation to a police investigation.....
This isn't one.
Individuals can only be given access to CCTV if it captures them alone and no third parties.
Elaine is a third party.
