You've had lots of advice, you just don't like it or agree with it.

Hi

I don't think I got that much advice.

I want this closed. I am a bit scunnered with it all to be honest.

Thanks

You have. But here, one last time:


You are not legally entitled to £15.
You are entitled to £0.85; which you refused.
You may have committed a public order offence.

You got all the advice you needed 4 minutes after you posted your question:

You're not entitled to £15 compensation. If you take this to court the judge will be in hysterics.

So I cant go to court for damages/hurt feelings/being robbed/or just a bit of justice really?

Okay thank you.

That right there is what is wrong with this country, everybody expecting compensation for hurt feelings.

Like others have said feel free to take it to court but expect to be laughed at by the judge, then you could try taking him/her to court for hurting your feelings even more

Take a chill-pill dude ... you chanced your arm and lucked out.

You are not entitled to any compensation beyond that which can be contractually agreed, or proven as a loss resulting directly from the contractual breach. It really is as simple as that ... you are not entitled to any imagined sum (£15) for "hurt feelings".

If you did try and take this to court (Simple Justice Procedure in Scotland?) the Sheriff would almost certainly treat your claim as a waste of the court's time (due to the circumstances and low value claim) and disallow any cost recovery - even if your claim could be won.

If you'd taken a less-aggressive approach with the bus company you may have received a goodwill gesture (e.g. travel card for one day's unlimited travel) ... but you didn't.

So somehow I am in the wrong here. A public order offence?

This is beyond a joke. I am not having this.

Yes, you were shouting at a bus driver, with passengers on board. I suspect many of them would have found this alarming or distressing.


Yes you are in the wrong. You simply should have accepted your change and got on with your day. I doubt a bus driver is going to risk his job for the sake of £0.85!


'you're not having what exactly'? Your opinion is largely irrelevant as to the legal position, which is: "de minimis non curat lex"

If you do go to court over this, then you will be asked difficult questions. I say difficult because you have been asked several times yet fail to answer.

1) Why didn't you ask for change at the time?
2) Why did you refuse to accept the 85p when it was offered to you?

Reply to the Magistrate/Judge/Sheriff as you have to some of the posters on here and I can see the words "Contempt of Court" being said.
