And while Trethowans are, indeed, a pretty shoddy, sordid outfit, the buck really stops with the Chief Exec of the Trust who is happy for public funds to be wasted time and again in this fashion. It is HE who should (in addition to everything else) be the target of your anger. Maybe copy in Jeremy Hunt, who has already made comment about parking (mis)management at hospitals.

Thanks everyone for your help so far,

I have written to Aintree chief exec at time of first post - no reply received at all!

I wrote to the court applying to contest jurisdiction.

Just received a bizarre letter from Salford CCMCC which says 1 line:

Your case was placed before District Judge X who made the following comments. "This isn't an issue of jurisdiction per se but an issue of location. The Court cannot advise the defendant and he should seek advice'.

I didnt ask for or want any advice. Surely my application is either rejected or accepted? Im guessing this means it is rejected.

What should I write back? Just say that I am going to defend the claim and bill for my expenses (quite substantial coming from Aberdeen).
I am going to email and call the CEO office at Aintree tomorrow.

Thanks for any advice

hoohoo

can a English company take you to court if you reside in Scotland and the offence was in England ?, I don,t think so, , await further comments from regulars

Yes they can. Its complicated. And expensive. I am aware of a consumer suing a Scottish company successful. The case was eventually heard in England after several hiccups.

If the consumer was in Scotland, being sued by an English company, then I suspect the hearing would be in Scotland, but am not sure.

When the case is finally allocated to a court, the court should be in Aberdeen. So it will be them travelling, not you.

I have checked with a well-known Scottish solicitor who tells me this is what would happen. He might be wrong, but he knows more than me, so I doubt it.

pappa_golf

the good news is that the claim figure is lower


trets will be well out of pocket with travelling , but what the hell you and me are paying <growl>

It went badly for Aintree too. They ended up paying Trets far more than they recovered. This would be even worse in Scotland, where 'small claims' cases need several hearings, not just one.

Only Trets came out on top.

needs booting out before it starts , spare Scottish solicitor on hand?




edit:


I know this is hospital/trets and not an AOS , but has the OP admitted he was driving?


denial , is more than a river in Egypt


seriously , no POFA , they have to prove driver ,
