    If you refer to the NEWBIE thread post # 2, you should find some examples of cost schedules. I found THIS ONE.

    So we went to court today, CEL Ltd hired a barrister to fight their claim and unforetunately we lost

    However he didn’t award them any costs so we’re not really any worse off and even the barrister feels we were unfortunate with the judges decision!!

    That's tough luck. Could you post a few details about the judge's decision and outline why you lost?

    Yes the judge straight away removed all cels debt collection costs and said the matter is for £100 that is all.

    Then we went through what happened on the day and argued the non complaint ntk which the judge was going with until the barrister said that the claim we had cited referred to a charge notice under the road traffic act not a contractual one.

    He dismissed the grace periods from the bpa
    He wasn’t concerned that civil enforcement hadn’t provided an agreement not was he concerned with the fact the gym had varied the terms and conditions of parking as allowed by cel just that the signs were clear and perhaps we’d been informed incorrectly by the gym!
