Identify the earliest available source
Record who is said to have spoken, who was present and whether an original message or recording exists. If you have only an account of the conversation, identify whose account it is. Keep quoted words separate from a summary. Counsel must assess the alleged communication and category against the actual evidence.
Track how the wording changed when repeated
Place later messages or reports in order, noting differences in wording and any omitted context. Preserve every original already held, even where versions conflict. For a death-or-bodily-harm threat allegation, the named person’s not hearing the words directly does not alone rule out the offence. The actual allegation, meaning and required intent still need assessment.
Avoid creating another chain while preparing the defence
Do not ask people to circulate a correction, apology or shared version where contact is prohibited or accounts may become coordinated. Keep current restrictions available and discuss any proposed response with counsel. This page addresses defending an allegation; protection requests use different routes and a consultation enquiry does not file an application.
Preparing for the first conversation
- Exact count and alleged original words.
- Who heard the original and what source is available.
- Later versions arranged by date, with differences marked.
- Current direct or indirect contact restrictions.
Keep the initial website enquiry brief. Do not upload or send sensitive documents through the form; arrange any document review directly with the firm.
You do not need every item before getting in touch. Mention any approaching court or response date.
Common questions
Should I preserve conflicting versions?
Yes. Keep the originals and explain the source and timing of each. Counsel needs to assess the differences.
Does a paraphrase have the same meaning as the original words?
Do not assume so. Identify what was quoted and what was summarized, with the surrounding context.
Can I ask others to distribute my explanation?
Discuss any proposed response with counsel first. Indirect contact may be restricted, and coordinating accounts can undermine accurate preparation.
