    PP forgot :

    > Corrupting local planning conditions set by Brighton & Hove Council by constantly applying ( via their 'employer' Aldi ) to get the time limit reduced from 3 hours to the Parking Eye standard of 90 minutes. When rejected despite locals not wanting a reduction they appealed to the planning inspectorate - who strangely have a building right next to ...... Capita !!!!!

    This already has a thread of its own, why are you spamming this one?

    A year or so ago Parking Prankster received a letter from a third-party firm of solicitors who had been employed by Parking Eye. The letter informed PP that he had been "reported to the police" over some of his blogs about PE. When PP asked for the crime number and the location of the police station where this "crime" had been reported, answer came there none. So it was just a hollow threat.

    Oh do behave. PP has listed PEs 'crimes' and all I've done is pointed out he missed one ..... how is that spamming ?

    Agreed. Don't understand Deep's argument.

    As I recall ParkingEye threatened to bring action for defamation and Pranky referred them to Arkell v Pressdram.

    There were no more blogs following this so I presume ParkingEye took Pressdram's advice.

    Whatever the meaning of "defamatory" we can agree that the statements are highly damaging to a certain company.

    Not necessarily, you could argue that given PE is generally held in the same esteem as dog s**t stuck to your shoe they have no reputation to damage!

    What they have is "money" and in this country, justice at English courts is the best that money can buy.
