Bottom line is this, if you are reversing and there is an accident it's your fault, regardless.

I had some cock hook a u turn in front of me one day and strode up to the local police station to report the accident and there was a guy in front of me in the line, who had reversed out of a car park and the road he was reversing onto was a one way street, the guy he hit was coming the wrong way up the one way street, and the cop said, "sorry doesn't matter if he was coming the wrong way, you are reversing, you are responsible for ensuring you don't hit anyone".

From what you've said BOYD you've got no problems at all. Small Claims court is good, the adjudicators are very fair, logical and reasonable people, (I've just been through a battle with an ex-landlord through the Tenancy Tribunal which is similar), logic and the law are on your side, but it sucks to even have to need to go through this sort of shit.
