You seem not to fully understand the private parking roboclaim industry that has evolved south of the border in the hands of low rent legal firms. There is no 'oversight', it is an out of control automated juggernaut that spews out thousands upon thousands of template LBAs and claims every week.an oversight maybe?
Untouched by human hands!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 had no idea! so the general advice is; short reply stating the following?
1) You were nto the driver
2) They have no claim against you, as the Keeper can have no liability for a drivers actions in Scotland
3) That because of 1) and 2), should they file a claim it will have no prospect of success, and will thus be a vexatious claim. You will apply for the claim to be struck out, at their expense, and will claim for your full time in costs.
Hopefully that will get them off my back!
Thank you all!0 -
Off your back is OK, but get on their back. Complain to the SRA and your MP, dealing with them costs them money.You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0

Plus don't forget your MSP.
There is what is seemingly a Trojan Horse Bill going through the Scottish Parliament, proposed by Tory MSP and solicitor Murdo Fraser, that will as it stands introduce keep liability. Thus you could end up with the same legal free for all we have down here.0 -
No it only applies in England and Wales; and apart from personal injury claims I can't find any compulsory pre action protocols in Scotland:-I'm not even sure the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims applies in Scotland (perhaps Johnersh or LOC123 could confirm?).
