IAS Appeal Dismissed VCS

Paperbird

According to the DVLA an ATA has to have an enforceable code of conduct so anyone getting something like this from the IAS saying IPC members don't have to comply with it should send a complaint to the DVLA.

I disagree, using it and getting in writing their ridiculous reasons for dismissing the appeal destroys their credibility.

Some of the decisions border on professional incompetence. I think pressure could be brought on the IPC to name the individual making the decision as a complaint to their professional body needs to be made.

Something along the lines of:

I require the name of the assessor you used in respect of appeal xxxx.

I believe the assessor has made significant errors in the handling of this appeal to the point of breaching their professional code of conduct. I require their name and any registration number so a complaint can be lodged with their professional body.

Excellent idea Waamo

you should also look at putting some pressure on the car park owner, if it's not one of the odd car parks that vcs/excell own

Exactly. The results coming out are absolutely embarrassing to a professional organisation. Declining appeals just gives them an easy win.

The Adjudicators comments are as follows: The former is not sufficient to satisfy me regarding the lack of signs. In this appeal the onus is on the Appellant to prove their claims and one close up photograph of a sign is not sufficient to satisfy me this is the only sign, or that the signs as a whole are insufficient.

Is this guy serious??

Would you have send a further 9 or so pictures of "thin air" proving there's nothing there.

He's serious, but as bent as a bottle of crisps.

They'd probably only settle for a video tour of the car park.

Got tis reply back from the IPC, as I complained about their decision which stated that operators DO NOT have to comply with the code even though, I think its section 2.1 states they do ("2.1 It is a condition of AOS membership that you agree to abide by this Code of Practice")---- a well will ignore further letters. Have wrote to the landowner to tell them about vcs non compliance

[FONT=&quot]Thank you for your enquiry to the Independent Appeals Service (IAS).[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The Independent Adjudicators used by the Independent Appeals Service (IAS) are practicing barristers or solicitors. All lawyers who consider appeals are expressly required under the terms of engagement to make the decision based on the evidence before them, without any influence from the parking operator, the IPC or the motorist. Adjudicator’s identities are protected so as to protect them from unwarranted adverse attention which may otherwise taint their decisions. Adjudicators are completely independent.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The IAS cannot interfere with the decision made by the Adjudicator, as this would compromise the independence of the service. As the decision is not binding on yourself, it is a matter for yourself if you wish to continue to contest the charge.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]As the appeal has been completed and closed, we are unable to enter into further communication in relation to this matter.[/FONT]

Of course they are. No practising lawyer would produce the nonsense they do, or care about being named.
