    Hi,
    If someone could please have a look at my previous Post #31 - POPLA Appeal Draft 03 & tell me if that'll do as my POPLA appeal or if there is anything else I should add, it'd be much appreciated.

    I'm in a bit of a rush as I only have until 12/08/14 to appeal, that's next Tuesday, & I'm a complete newb.

    All help & assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks in advance... Calhoon.

    It's long, but hey I think you can go with it. It certainly contains lots of points. I have only ski. Read it so make sure it is the same PPC mentioned throughout as when you copy and paste from other appeals. It is easy to get the wrong PPC dotted in the appeal.

    You've got a week to submit this but want an almost instant response (within 3 hours of posting) to a 'War and Peace' appeal from over-stretched regulars who've been inundated today with 'heeeeelp I've got a PCN' posts!

    Can I ask, have you read through all the details, and understood all the significance and implications of the following?
    This is most clearly stated in Lordsvale Finance Plc v Bank of Zambia [1996] QB 752, quoted approvingly at paragraph 15 in Cine Bes Filmcilik Ve Yapimcilik & Anor v United International Pictures & Ors [2003] EWHC Civ 1669 when Coleman J states a clause should not be struck down as a penalty, “if the increase could in the circumstances be explained as commercially justifiable, provided always that its dominant purpose was not to deter the other party from breach”.

    You've quoted them! So now you might have some understanding of where we regulars are at!
    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.

    Hi, and thanks Dee,

    I've also got these photos I took, do you think I should send them to POPLA to back up my appeal also..??
    There's a Panoramic one showing lack of signage and one with a 6.3ft chap reaching for the sign half way up a lamp post.

    Only attach the second picture - the panoramic view showing NO signs:

    NOT the first picture which shows a sign above a car - doesn't help you as much at all. But your POPLA appeal now includes everything that usually wins, so go for it!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
