DWF £125 Fine Harrassment?

They wont be successful and therefore wont take you to court due tot he above court case, RLP thought they would win the case, they even iirc tried to keep the judgement quiet, the precedent is now set. Do NOT contact them at all in any way, just bin the letters

It's quite embarrassing at how badly you've failed to understand what the OP's original question was concerning. You're conflating the criminal action of theft (which it seems has not been pursued by Tesco) and the civil action that the security team are attempting to pursue in order to line their pockets.

Next time read the thread properly to gain an understanding of it - ask an Adult if you need help doing so.

Oh I think they understood just fine! (although its not clear if the fine is £125 or £100...)

A concious shop lifter has come to a money saving site to find out if he can avoid paying for his shoplifting fine. I think that stretches the morals of this money saving site a little far don't you?

It doesn't matter if they are fishing, your advice, whilst correct would do nothing to stop the OP repeat offending.

No, and now you've lost any goodwill I was offering you in the first place.

Read it yourself, and thank Keyser for posting the links.

Gotta admit I chuckled at the balls of this one... I liked the reply too, well played :T

i) The retailer is within its rights to call the police - it is the job of the latter to pursue prosecution if they see fit. Call up the police and have a go at them.

ii) The OP is essentially being asked to pay for the hire of the security staff employed at Tesco. As per the transcript of the case Keyser posted, this charge is largely unenforceable.

iii) Civil decisions in the case of tort work by establishing precisely how the costs incurred by the claimant stack up. In this case, it is impossible to believe that the OP's shoplift caused £100/125 worth of cost for Tesco.

As a result of this, Tesco won't bother pursuing the OP in court for recovery of this money. Irrespective of my moral judgment on the OP and his previously dubious postings on this website, he came for specific advice and got it.

At last in this thread someone speaks up for common sense.

It would have been recorded Visi and no doubt the second time they will go the criminal route

Unless Tesco decide to launch a private prosecution - which is extremely rare - this just isn't going to happen.

A civil recovery is not a criminal trial. Even if you lose, you just have to pay their losses and costs - there is no criminal conviction.

No they wont

They could if they wished and they will have evidence, so would win any court case.
