Yet Another PPC Backs Away From A Court Case

As reported on PePiPoo:-

http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?showtopic=71786&st=0

In this instance it's our old friend "Legal Parking Enforcers". The defendant went in mob-handed with free help from some legal colleagues and the PPC just dropped the case.

    I wonder if they have permission from the copyright holder (presumably HM Courts Service) to use that picture on their website?

    I also like their "offence codes". Clearly lifted from some council website. The clue lies in number 9 "No Parking on Yellow Lines Or Red Route".

    Hello Pete here from UKCPS, how are you guys hope all is well ? :-) I notice on pepipoo that you have chickened out on attending court. So your claim of a 100% success rate there should be altered now. So I'm looking forward to your alteration on your website.

    http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?showtopic=71786&st=0

    By the way us at UKCPS are much better at scamming than you, we never act like chickens, I'll send you a pack of paxo around so you can make good gravy .

    Love

    As for the potential breach of copyright on their website this wouldn't be the first time. They used to have DVLA and ICO images too and had to remove them when the DVLA and ICO were tipped off.

    As for the photo - is didn't take long to track it down. It is actually copyrighted by Teeside University. Click Here: http://www.tees.ac.uk/sections/business/gallery.cfm The image in question appears in the centre row of the gallery second from the bottom and has been cropped (presumably by LPE) to exclude the police officer in the witness box to the right hand side.

    Teeside Uni's copyright statement says, amongst other things:
    The express permission of the University must be obtained to reproduce materials other than for the purposes permitted by law...
    You cannot:
    • use these pages for any commercial purpose
    • alter the material in any way

    My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016). :(

    For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com

    I have just sent an email to them over the copyright issues surrounding that courtroom image.

    From their website:-

    Legal Parking Enforcers UK Limited pursue all (my bolding) unpaid parking tickets through the county court.

    I don't think that's true at all.
