Charge whilst broken down

waamo

Remove the repetition. You are very limited on characters so there is no need to over emphasise.

I would still recommend commenting on any failings with their other evidence but dedicate the bulk of your comments to the frustration of contract point, their lack of response and thus acceptance of your point, and that the appeal must be allowed.


Make the points very clear and as waamo above has said, be wary of the 2000 character limit.

You may still lose as POPLA are useless about understanding breakdowns and frustration of contract, and how that means there was no 'agreed contract' but so what.

The usual (of repeated) story applies if so, search Euro POPLA lost, read all the other threads, no paying - and sit tight.

I could be wrong.

Popla appeal unsuccessful.

Clearly useless in any understanding of frustration of contract as only one comment was designated to it in their appeal report.

“I note the appealants comments in relation to frustration of contract, however, as the motorist could simply have purchased a ticket for the time they spent at the site, I am satisfied no frustration of contract has occurred”

More reading to do for me, this is very tiresome as long worded and drawn out legal reports are far from my strong point! ‘Sigh’ !!

Save the legal technicalities for a Judge to unravel. Will it get to a Judge? You decide.

Caveat - they have 6 years to pursue to court and no one can predict or guarantee how their behaviour might move during any time between now and 2024.

For the time being, at least, I wouldn't be losing any sleep.

So it’s best to just sit and do nothing from here on in??

What were you thinking of doing?

RAS83

Reading up on ‘Popla appeal lost’ threads??

More than happy to take no further action if that is the advice?!

If now you sit and wait, what was the point of taking the time to appeal in the first place??

How are you supposed to purchase a P&D ticket at a location which is a garage forecourt with limited parking time and no option to extend? I would make a complaint to the head adjudicator.

Because you might have won, perhaps? That would have killed this dead. You're now in the position of waiting to see what next steps the PPC takes.

POPLA assessor using a lazy copy and paste from an unrelated previous case, showing a complete lack of care (or interest).

I would certainly put in the complaint suggested by kryten3000 - John Gallagher is the Lead Adjudicator. I would also write to your MP about this very poor example of how a purported wholly impartial appeals organisation is dealing with appeals in such an unprofessional and cavalier manner - ask them if they too will write to JG and require him to provide a sensible reason for a decision that is clearly unrelated to your case, and which will cause you continuing distress and anxiety.
