Coming in from the west, park at Hatton Cross and tube in.

Coming in from the north, park at Brent Cross and tube in.

Coming on from the south or east, catch a train.

Simples

From the south-west Old Deer Park car park, off the A316 at Richmond. Cheap as chips for a 24 hour ticket (allows plenty of time for breakfast and later retirement to a hostelry). 2 minute walk through the car park to the tube. District Line straight through to Temple.

Even more simples.

Case tracker says 23rd or 24th for 5 hrs, but CoA cause list says not sitting on 23rd, so presume we are looking at Tues 24th then?

The Judges are:
Lord Justice Moore-Bick

Be nice if any one of these has ever had a ticket from PE

Interesting read. I don't believe if Parking Eye win itll be as bad as it sounds. I dont believe any pub would charge for drink spillages, and I dont think PPC's will charge over £100 even after they get free reign to charge what they like.

Unfortunately If they loose as Prankster suggests something will have to be done about it. So me parking in my next door neighbours parking bay and getting invoices every week will no longer be something I can brush off with a simple POPLA appeal and I wont get the pleasure of costing the PPC a few quid. In fact I suspect there are many many more on the desks of my lease company waiting to be sent out which could cost me a few quid based on how this Beavis case turns out.....

If Parking Eye win this and get the result that the figure is allowed using commercial justification you'll be able to hear the sonic boom from every PPC changing direction, the usual appeals will be declined and invoices will be sent out as fast as they can print them.

I doubt many other places may change, but they may start using it as an invoice for leaving a bad review for hotels/restaurants etc.

If PE lose, then they'll need to try harder to find a valid justification, which won't happen (they are already scraping the barrel) and might have to try another approach (charging businesses to actually manage the car parks).

I'm expecting

Some trusting people around!

A certain dodgy budget hotel chain has already tried it on over getting people to pay £400 speculative invoices for smoking in their room (even when they didn't). If "commercial justification" is allowed as a means for business to effectively fine people just watch unscrupulous companies falling over themselves thinking up creative ways to boost their profits!

I understood that while we waited for the COA to decide this case one could ask for a stay if PE tried it on in court in the region the initial judgement was made, So if it turns out that it will go to the surpreme court would that mean all PE cases in England and Wales could be 'stayed'?
Or, more likely, I have not a notion how this works? :rotfl:
