I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.

It was a question, is it going to be the same people?
After a tiny bit of digging they seem unrelated and a lot more professional. I'm just skeptical that the BPA would appoint an actually fair review system, because it'd completely sink them.0 -
yup , sorry I do not recognise those names , can you point one out , then link it to the IAS0

They seem completely unrelated. I haven't been able to access the IAS directors, but there's 3 of them, 1 of which claims to be a solicitor.0 -
