Well done. I think PE are getting fed up of forking out £27 for each POPLA appeal when they know they are going to lose with a well worded CM MSE appeal, so they're better cutting their losses at a earlier stage.
They make their money from the IGNORERS.

Did your appeal include a copy receipt for any spending made at that location? (PE are known for accepting appeals where at least £30 of spending has been shown).

Would there be mileage in challenging parkinglie subsequent to such bland climb-down text, requiring their justification/grounds for causing stress/expense/ costed time in rebuttal etc?

I doubt it as PE have already backed off as a consequence of the first letter. So minimal damage done. Thus I believe a judge would consider this type of claim vexatious.

If PE had rejected the OP's first appeal that outlines that a loss would be made if PE forced the OP to defend his case to Popla, then the OP would have grounds to make a claim

Thankyou gerty.

I wasn't thinking so much of making a claim. That is covered when an appellant submits a PCN[Personal Costs Notification].

I was thinking more of what is implicit from your clause: 'PE have already backed off as a consequence of the first letter', indicating institutional 'trying it on' as business method, without ANY just cause to initiate ANYthing, fishing for the gullible.

Of course they'd slither about for new props and pretences, but that's no reason, imho, not to build evidence showing another dubious tactic and putting this in the ammo cabinet to fire back at them.

oic - the potential to take out a class action on a PPC or to gather implicit data and enough witnesses who would be willing to pull them into line via an MP or watch dog
