    Important we keep a close eye on this, albeit at this stage no detail of the code.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    That was a lot to read and try to understand
    ATA's were mentioned ??

    Let us hope that Sir Greg fully understands
    the great IPC/IAS scam

    Let us hope that he understands that the
    Gladstones/IPC/IAS scam is not fit for purpose
    both for the motorists and the courts

    It will be up to the pro motoring voices to convince him.

    Clause 9: Interpretation
    31 Clause 9 deals with interpretation, notably that ‘private parking facilities’ means facilities for the parking of vehicles on relevant land, that ‘parking charge’ means the same as in Schedule 4 of the 2012 Act, with modifications for Scotland, that ‘relevant land’ means the same as in Schedule 4 of the 2012 Act, with modifications for Scotland and ‘public authority’ means any authority under section 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998 other than a court or tribunal, as well as other terms defined by the Act.
    Wondering whether there’s anything ominous to read between the lines here regarding ‘modifications for Scotland’?
    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.

    I have emailed him and many more, and explained this scam,
    We may not win by protesting, but if we don’t protest we will lose.
    If we stand up to them, there is always a chance we will win.

    Perhaps you can contact him and ask him how long has the Secretary of State got to come up with the new code; because, there's no timetable for that in the draft bill.

    Dunno ... perhaps it's referring simply to the fact that POFA doesn't apply in Scotland therefore any new bill must be similarly constructed?
