Also the court we are going to states on the website "areas of law covered" criminal, Not planning.

The planning appeal was done via a company. Case officer said we should have won the case, but due to the poor Appeal case we had lost, hence dont want to use the same company again, The extension is only 3 meters, whats the worst they can do? If they fine me, does that close the case?

is it best to get a defence case made by a company? and maybe ask a solicitor friend to forward that as our case in court, or does it have to be a planning/criminal lawyer speaking in court? as it might be too hard to get a planning solicitor within a few days.
