UKPC drops court cases in Scotland

Posts: 33 Forumite
Three cases that UKPC had brought against Dundee drivers in the small claims court were yesterday DROPPED.
The drivers were offered an out of court settlement (£152 instead of £160 !!) but the drivers refused.
UKPC then instructed solicitors to drop the case. UKPC has not commented why.
Full story in this mornings Dundee Courier.
Obviously they know they couldn't win, so had to back down. respect due to the drivers for refusing to submit to bullying.

Looks like their toe dipping exercise into another shady bullying tactic didn't pay off then!:rotfl:0

I wonder if the landlords of Gallagher Retail Park questioned UKPC's resolve when it came to people ignoring their charges?0

I hope all 3 defendants take them back to small claims court for the time/money they wasted defending the cases. With them being dropped UKPC don't have a leg to stand on.0

Wonder if they were trying to get the BPA to urge government to change the Scottish rules. Losing/giving up would prove the ppc had no legal redress to get the money.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0
