Parking Prankster has passed on this lady's details to Kirkbyinfurnesslad who has agreed to lay rep at her hearing.

I'd lay odds that we'll be seeing 'claim abandoned' very soon. I'm sure PE won't take any risk with KIFL in attendance, especially given the profile this case has acquired in the national press.

It would likely be their greatest court-related PR disaster, losing this one!

Especially as it seems (according to Pranky) that she wasn't even parked in PE's car-park, but on an adjacent piece of land.

I would counter sue them so they can't drop the case, though it's probably to late for that.

I suppose parking eye could claim a court victory if the defendant/victim gets scared and pays up before the court date or if the victim / defendant after following 'advice' and then ignored correspondence up to court papaers being issued and then pays up as they just want to get rid of it all.

Its a shame that trading standards or someone else cant get involved to force those who take parking eye on to their land to re-fund any one who has paid parking eye, plus p[ay them any additional costs+interest etc as well as a full apology.

Those who take on these parking company's and then hide behind the "its not our problem - our car parks managed by another company " are just as bad, if not worse than the parking company's themselves.
Hypotheticly if things got tough for parking eye (or any other PPC) and they found themselves on the receiving end of a lot of claims what would stop them from going out of business and then re emerging as another company, in the same way that the clampers used to operate?
