    now it will not be called a "fine" , however is it an invoice "asking" for money or a demand saying that if YOU do not pay it they will take court action?

    Unless DRP are claiming in Scotland that the RK is liable under PoFA, then what interest has Trading Standards in the issue of what is no more than a begging letter?

    On what basis are you suggesting the complaint is made? Help the posters out a bit here.
    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. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    was it a "threatening" letter? did they demand money or was it just an invoice did they say that YOU were responsible for the actions


    or was it just a begging letter?
