Be careful what you wish for.
I doubt we'll see him any time soon.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.com0 -

It's almost as if you believe that parking companies stoop to underhand methods to trick people into thinking these companies run a fair and ethical business.
Speaking of which. Where's Perky these days? I miss him. He was funny, he was!!PPCs say its carpark management, BPA say its raising standards..... we all know its just about raking in the revenue. :eek:0 -
Two cases heard Thursday 19/12 at Barrow in Furness County Courts were dismissed with permission to appeal refused. It seems our judges are getting wise to the scams/lies spewing forth from these PPC's, the grounds for dismissal being not GPEOL's. Not only POPLA but also the courts have figured out the fines from these scammers are not legally enforceable, all in all a good day for the working man.
Good news!! Roll on with justice!0 -
One of the defendants has requested that we don't publish any details until a 21 day deadline has passed, so all will be revealed after 10th January.

OK, we can now publish this:
Case #1
Barrow-in-Furness County Court
19th December 2013
Deputy District Judge Buckley
Case no. 3JD00517
Parking Eye v Clarke
This was an overstay case at The Range, Barrow, and I provided the defendant with his defence, plus some pointers on how to conduct the case in court.
This was his report in his own words:
Hi David, as you know I appeared in court this morning and the case was dismissed and leave to appeal was refused, the judge (nice man) decided that PE’s GPEOL didn’t hold water as they were not the landowners therefore no loss had been established, the Judge seemed to focus on PE v Sharma. PE’s solicitor argued at some length that PE’s normal everyday running costs/expenses to be legitimate and therefore defendants were liable for these costs and cited several cases where this had been tested, I had earlier argued that normal running costs/everyday expenses were tax deductable in their year end profit / loss accounts and defendants were been unduly penalised. ... Where does this ruling leave PPC’s and their unfair business models surely this has shot massive holes into their broadside together with POPLA refusing to endorse their GPEOL’s, how will Capita view their recent purchase hopefully they will be asking for their money back.
He has applied for the Approved Judgment, which will be available shortly on the Parking Prankster's site.
Case #2
Barrow-in-Furness County Court
19th December 2013
Deputy District Judge Buckley
Case no. 3JD02555
Parking Eye v Pearce
This chap had never been on the forums, but the facts of his case were identical to the one above and followed on straight afterwards, so it was easy for the Judge to reach the same decision.
He posted about it on Facebook: Mark Pearce The judge ruled against PE in the case before ours and I think had already decided to rule the same for us before we went in. He ran my defence for me, interrupting if he felt I was going wrong. The verdict was that as PE were not the land holder they could not quantify losses therefore any charges were punitive. I also had not entered a contract as the signage was unlit and could not be seen when entering from Duke St. so therefore could not be held in breach.
Another bad day at the office for the Wicked Witch of the North West.
I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.0 -

Superb result. Well done BP. A real star in the fight against the money-grabbing, intimidating and nasty modus op of a private company hell bent on screwing their fellow human being.
Sick to the core!Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
