Robot Lawyer for parking appeals letters

dodgy123

I heard about this on an American tech news podcast (Daily Tech News Show)
Here is the article about a British man at Stanford University and a quote from Business Insider.
Basically his website bot asks you questions and spits out the appropriate letters for you to send to court for appeal (figures on the article are in Dollars but the website is for UK tickets)


Thought it might be of help to some people here.

"Hiring a lawyer for a parking ticket appeal is not only a headache — it can also cost more than the ticket itself.
Depending on the case and the lawyer, an appeal (a legal process where you argue out of paying the fine) can cost between $400 to $900.
But with the help of a bot made by British programmer Joshua Browder, 19, it costs nothing.
Browder's bot handles questions about parking ticket appeals in the UK. Since launching in late 2015, it has successfully appealed $3 million worth of Tickets"

Oh yes, I read about him in the paper a couple of months ago. Seemed like he'd done a good job of simplifying Council ticket appeals into several click button questions which is a great idea and free.

Maybe we should tell people about that as well as pepipoo. Seemed a clever idea and I looked at the questions and for certain PCNs it was spot on. Pepipoo experts would be better if it gets complicated but for something simple like proving you were loading on double yellows (which is allowed) it looked to do the job & make it simple for people to understand.
