OK, I've sent the extra rebuttal as quoted in post #20

Hopefully I haven't made any glaring errors.

Apart from a bit of copy & pasting, I did nothing. The pat on the back should go entirely to you and the other forum members that spend time helping and guiding newbies through what starts out as a confusing minefield. :beer:

Just musing on the decision from POPLA, and this line in particular:

Accordingly, I must allow the appeal and need not consider the appellant’s substantive case.

I wonder if putting forward a case with a lot of appeal points and evidence from other cases actually steers the assessor to immediately look for a fault in the PPC's actions and/or evidence?

They're only human after all (allegedly) with a heavy workload I'm sure, so if I was in their shoes and faced with three pages of solid legal arguments, I'd be thinking "Right, it's Highview, what do they normally fail on? No keeper liability? Sorted. Next!"

It certainly reads like he didn't even consider the case, just looked at the fact there was no keeper liability, quashed it and moved on. :T
