VCS Spanked in Court Today

...and the yacht won't be getting its bottom scraped before the summer.

I surprised not to have heard that the normally voluble Mr R-S hadn't likened the judge in this case to the inestimable Deputy District Judge Lateef (From Martin Cutt's win at Stockport) who he thought, if memory serves, was "...an embarrassment to the judicial system".

I wonder if Mr R-S's seeming disdain for judges who don't find in his favour was ever conveyed to Judge McIlwaine? Perhaps that was why he was summoned to Scun.thorpe?

One really does wonder why SR-S continues to flog a dead horse by putting these matters before judges who can clearly see right through the standard PPC prestidigitation? I suppose he can't be seen not to step up to the plate and support what PE are doing given that he sits on the BPA AOS Board but having to leave the yacht's bottom unscraped. I mean what is the world coming to?

Some of them seem to genuinely believe they have right on their side and take it all very personally. Perky is the most glaring example, but SRS seems to be of the same ilk and even some of PE's cases seem to be pursued out of sheer vindictiveness rather than making any kind of business sense.

Just like the guards at the Nazi death camps they seem to genuinely believe they're not doing anything wrong.

An excellent report which doesn't even mention the "f" word.

Which is a refreshing change for a local rag report, however they do mention the "s" word.

Then a court summons for £735 arrived

Believing and not admitting are two totally different things.

The moment they admit that they have no genuine estimate of loss the whole basis for issuing an invoice disappears overnight.

I invoke Godwin's Law, thus this thread must now die.

Coupon-mad

How on earth did the 'Bainbridge' guy that VCS mention, manage to lose in court to the tune of two grand and clearly not research a decent defence? With £2000 at stake you would at least Google it, wouldn't you?
