    I can't say I consider "the word on the street" as a viable fact. I'm sure there are processes in place which prevent a decision being given before it is meant to be.

    Wow, the only court case I know where the public get to hear the verdict before the judge makes one.

  • ......“the word spouted by PPCs solicitors in this court for the last few months ” is that the Supreme Court will not change the decisions made in the Beavis case by the lower courts.
  • I suggest the 'word on the street' is taken with a pinch of salt. As someone else pointed out, it is probably just the LPC Law bods bigging their case up to try and stop judges staying cases.

    It is a snippet which you are right to link to here, but with respect, you have quoted a bit out of context.

    It is in fact Prankey quoting a post from someone he assisted, who is in turn quoting a Judge who was either speaking out of turn or possibly commenting obscurely about something else.

    It was second hand from the Judge and Prankey takes a different view

    I don't think "the word on the street" counts for anything. Another County Court judge has told us, face to face, that the CoA judgment is incomprehensible and he considers it inconceivable that the Supreme Court will not uphold the established doctrine on penalties.

    Who to believe? No-one, just wait for the Supreme Court judgment.

    As the judgement is not yet known, anything is just speculation. If Mr Beavis does loose, things wont be all in favour of the PPCs, either which way interesting times ahead.

    And where would it leave new world motors vs dunlop pnuematic tyres?

    I do not see how commercial justification could apply to hospitals, blocks of flats, P&D car parks, stations, universities, MSAs, etc.

    Perhaps the Supreme Court will create a 'special exception' to the law on penalties for PPC invoices, just as the Court of Appeal effectively created a 'special exception' to the law on penalties in the case of wheelclamp release fees, and later, in defiance of Parliament, rewrote the statutory defence of lawful excuse for criminal damage so that it no longer applied to PPC wheelclamps.

    I do hope not.
