Parking Eye lose again in court

Good grief. I'll bet you've got a theory on the missing Malaysian airliner too.

Was it the Parking Eye Barrister or the Parking Eye solicitor who was phoned - the name of the barrister was published on forum.

Given that it's very unusual to have a barrister in small claims - does the barrister need a solicitor as well, like in a normal court.

Sadly, spacey, what has been reported is entirely believable. And to be de-warned in this way is a frequent occurrence.

Could PE drop all the cases now in the intervening time?

Whoever pulled that stunt deserves the wigging he will get. That and a spell during which he will undoubtedly get through many bars of soap in the showers for fear of picking one up. Let's hope he can't afford any replacements.

Hopefully they will trace the person responsible for this debacle.

I am not sure, if someone called you and told you not to turn up for work ,would you check it out or have a day off.

One would have thought a quick call to check with the court would be in order.

Occam's Razor would seem to apply. Most people believe most things they are told because mostly they are true.

Absolutely, exactly why I smell a rat, today they could have been ruled vexatious litigant.

They can quietly drop the cases and carry on with ones where the judge has not pulled the rope in on them.

They had everything to lose here today, everything.

And the US government blew up the twin towers, and MI5 had Princess Di bumped off.

They did not have everything to lose, it was still only a small claim for God's sake, but if they were found to be behind the 'phone call then they absolutely would lose everything, including their liberty for some people.

Or are you seriously suggesting there was no 'phone call and a highly successful barrister was "in" on it and prepared to risk his entire career over a poxy small claim?

Can't believe the rubbish some people come out with when the simple explanation is entirely plausible.

I actually agree with Spacey here. I struggle to believe that a professional barrister ( probably earning in excess of £500k a year ) would take a random call and accept its contents unquestioningly. He's a barrister and his job is to question everything.
