I got the impression from your other thread that you were revving up the Enfield and donning crash hat and goggles and heading North.

It is claimed that Civil Enforcement Ltd sent penalty charge demands to various addresses across Aberdeenshire.
The London company allegedly said that the notice was enforceable under schedule four of the Protection of Freedoms Act.
But yesterday, prosecutors claimed the firm did so despite knowing that the legislation does not apply in Scotland.
The case had its first calling at Aberdeen Sheriff Court where the business faces 11 further charges relating to car parking in the Grampian region.
It is claimed that one consumer was sent “persistent and unwanted” solicitations by letter requesting payment for a parking charge notice between December 2013 and April last year.
Well, CEL won't be the only PPC working on these lines in Scotland. I'd hazard a guess that most, if not all, are quoting PoFA 2012.
An adverse judgment against CEL could open the gates for a number of similar prosecutions. Get your passport ready Rachel!Please note, we are not a legal advice forum.

You have to ask yourself was this sending of notices to Scotland a deliberate act or just another example of gross incompetence for which CEL are justly famous?What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0

The latter might be their defence- the former is my bet as a "try on" that may have already reaped them £000's thinking they had little to lose.0 -

The former might mean jail time, the latter, massive repayments. The likelihood of liquidation looms large!Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

Sorry to pour cold water on this but at best they will be out of operation for 6 weeks. They will then be back. They know it. You now know it.
Small fine then business as normal. DVLA policy.
