London Councils lose POPLA contract

enfield_freddy

popla does not concern companies , just an individual v scum , yup the scum is a company , but you are not , I think there website needs amending if they are going to do popla , its misleading and will send you to the wrong place


no the law when acted only stated that the appeal was binding on the PPC , a lot of parliament time would have to be wasted to change this


I do believe that capita take over in 2018

There isn't any law concerning PoPLA. Its decisions are not legally binding on anyone.

I admire your enthusiasm Freddy but your accuracy leaves a lot to be desired.

A company could be the Registered Keeper/"Keeper" so POPLA could be applicable in some cases.

As for the website article; I not sure how the" Ombudsman Services will receive cases from POPLA" since it won't exist anymore.

The BPA have required operators to accept the decision of POPLA as regards appeals but enforcement will remain through the County Court system. Whilst the POPLA decision will not be binding on the County Court judge, he or she will doubtless have close regard to the determination of fact made by the Assessor.

It's not law but a rule of the BPA's.

In addition to that though, it's likely they will just accept what POPLA say, as essentially they'd have to take a case to court that they know they have little chance of winning after losing a POPLA appeal.

yup it reads "The BPA have required operators to accept the decision of POPLA " and omits to say anything about the customer


also picked up on


POPLA decisions will not be based on the BPA Code of Practice for the Approved Operators Scheme. However, the Adjudicator will inform the BPA of breaches of the Code found during the appeal process. Details of these will also be in the Adjudicator’s annual report

enfield_freddy

so if "x" percent of cases were found in favour of the customer due to the PPCs being lying muppets , popla says it will inform the BPA of all breaches


the BPA don,t seem to be doing much do they?

POPLA will still exist after Oct 1st, it will just be a different company operating the service.


They will probably keep the website exactly the same as it is now. And possibly some, or all, of the same assessors.

Agreed

Unfortunately, the press statement implies that POPLA will be passing cases to the "Ombudsman Services" so effectively two different organisations.
