    Didn't he say that there was something in the title deeds about free car parking? I thought that was his "secret weapon"?

    I obviously missed that bit. If that was really his secret weapon then he's an idiot of the first water. Why on earth would the judge at a small claims hearing be remotely interested in a covenant in a deed which, if it's enforceable at all (which they usually aren't), would only be enforceable by the other party to the deed?

    I don't see that any PPC currently needs to take someone to Court after an unfavourable PoPLA decision as they are making enough money out of the poor saps who pay up straight away.

    However, as more people get wise to the scam and their profits start to fall, I can at some point see a PoPLA decision at The BPA being challenged by taking someone to Court.

    We have already seen underhand tactics by some PPCs in avoiding giving out the PoPLA code as they know that they are likely to get spanked.

    I can see this taking a landmark case like what happened with ACS Law and the file sharing scam to expose the scam for what it is. Like them though, it won't be until after Joe Public has been fleeced out of millions of pounds which can't be recovered.
    Search my post " PoPLA evidence - What to submit" on what is a good defense for a PoPLA appeal.
