Where did you hear that ..... ? BREXIT is being dealt with by just a few idiots
Educated guess. Whatever happens on Brexit, its going to tie down Parliament for years, but any Government will not want the whole issue to be about Brexit, they will want to talk about other stuff, for example topics that create a lot of 'noise'. This does.0 -

You simply cannot use an educated guess, it's bad propaganda
Donald Trump would call that .... IT'S FAKE NEWS
How May sorts out Brexit remains to be seen, 25 days to go but, the parking scam is an internal issue, nothing to do with Brexit and those involved such as Sir Greg Knight wants this bill through quickly, it's his baby, no Educated Guesses please0 -

The Bill has gone through its third reading in the Lords, and now just needs Royal Assent to become law, which will be a formality within the next few weeks.
But the Bill, once it becomes an Act, is only an enabling mechanism for a statutory Code of Practice. The CoP committee, comprising representatives from the parking industry, landowners, consumer organisations and government, will be issuing a consultation document, and considering responses before producing the draft code. The draft code may then be subject to further amendments in both the Commons and the Lords.
So there's a way to go yet, and I don't think 'Old Sparky' is that far out in his guesswork.
I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.0 -
If this will be a public consultation document we need to galvanise the troops and the newbies to respond in droves to add to the weight of agreement in favour of the best suggestions in the document.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Will we know who from the parking industry is involved ?
EG: The IPC ARE ONLY REPRESENTATIVES OF A SCAM0 -
It's sad but inevitable that the very designers and perpetrators of this disgusting scam industry will also be in the consultation group, you need a Frank Field to hold them to account!0

Any new appeals system/ombudsman has to be totally independent with no connection to the incumbents of the current system. That has to be at the core of the new code of practice.
