My first post here, I think this is probably the best place for it.
I witnessed a collision between a pedestrian and a bus around 18 months ago.
I have now been contacted by investigators working for the solicitors for the pedestrian asking me to provide a witness statement in person.
I gave a statement to the police at the time and subsequently in writing to the bus company,
plus a brief response to the pedestrian's solicitors about a year later.
I have no wish to be involved any further, and in particular I have no desire to help the pedestrian and his ambulance chasing solicitors given that the incident was entirely his fault.
Am I under any obligation to agree to the request to give a statement,
and if I refuse can I be compelled at a later date by a court to give evidence
(the incident happened in Scotland but I live in England).
The request was hand delivered,
can I tell them not to visit my house again,
and if they do is that considered harassment?
