IAS and court proceedings

stu-b

Hello,

If the IAS do not find in my favour, am I able to raise a Simple Procedure (small claims) action against the car park operator in the Scottish courts (who have jurisdiction over the car park in question).

Thanks

What would be the basis of your claim? With such little information to go on who knows?

Have you tried Legal Beagles?

This is an entirely unregulated industry which is scamming the public with inflated claims for minor breaches of contracts for alleged parking offences, aided and abetted by a handful of low-rent solicitors.

Parking Eye, CPM, Smart, and another company have already been named and shamed, as has Gladstones Solicitors, and BW Legal, (these two law firms take hundreds of these cases to court each year). They lose most of them, and have been reported to the regulatory authority by an M.P. for unprofessional conduct

Hospital car parks and residential complex tickets have been especially mentioned.

The problem has become so rampant that MPs have agreed to enact a Bill to regulate these scammers. Watch the video of the Second Reading in the HofC recently.

and complain in the most robust terms to your MP. With a fair wind most of these companies may well be put out of business by Christmas.

Fair point, could have been worded better:

Does using IAS preclude me from raising a small claims action?

No, it does not.

I hope that helps.
