Case No. 3JD01136 ParkingEye v Shaw Gallen

However Mr Gallen is going for costs, so not the end of the matter
This is not, however, the end of the matter. Mr Gallen, a highly paid Management Consultant, has so far spent several hours working on the case, has receipts for over £50 worth of postage, and has had to photocopy over 1,000 pages at 5p a time. He is applying to the Court for a costs-only hearing, and will seek reimbursement from PE of around £400 to cover all of this. Further updates when available.

Presumably their representative will have got a phone call informing him he does not need to turn up.Dedicated to driving up standards in parking0

Good for him - I hope he gets every penny
And thanks for the chuckle hoohoo - rofl0 -
ohhhh , I really do hope he wins this and gets that amount of money out of them, might make them think twice in future
I always knew that one day they would ticket somebody "in the know" like this person or a judge or judges daughter etc and that these more professional people would spank them to the nth degree somehow !!0 -
Yes it's inevitable that they will run across someone as litigant as them, and by the looks of things this guy is not doing it for the money but the principle of it, I doubt he would even settle outside of court.

Nice comment on the blogShaw Gallen22 March 2014 14:28
I'd just like to thank the Prankster and especially Bargepole for their fantastic support and advice throughout the case. I'm truly bowled over by the way the community provides such great support to people in need.
Snail: this appears to be an old trick which banks on the vagaries of the court system: in reality, cases do 'magically' become un-stayed without any formal application (as in my case).

Mr Gallen put together, again with minimal assistance from Bargepole, a comprehensive rebuttal of all PE's arguments, together with a long list of all their POPLA and County Court defeats. He also informed the Court that Bargepole would be appearing as his Lay Representative at the hearing.
With just days to go, a letter arrived from the Court, stating that the Claimant, PE, had discontinued the claim, and there would be no need to attend Court. It is not known whether PE decided to drop this hot potato due to the high quality of Mr Gallen's submissions, or because they didn't fancy the prospect of yet another of their LPC Law stooges being duffed up by Bargepole; but in any event it now means they can no longer claim that they 'never discontinue cases'.
Excellent news !
Sounds a great combo!
Good Luck Shaw with the costs hearing .... no doubt updates will be available as and when...0 -
A nice cherry on the cake would be for whoever contracted parking eye to be made liable for the costs as a result of the actions of their agents.From the Plain Language Commission:
"The BPA has surely become one of the most socially dangerous organisations in the UK"0
