funny season at ITAL

waamo

It will be interesting to see how it pans out. I suspect it won't be long before we get people start turning up saying they've lost at ITAL what do they do?

The first few of these will act as guidance for future advice.

Steve Clark can try damage limitation but ITAL’s credibility is shot beyond repair. They can’t pretend the cosy relationship with Indigo never happened - it’s not something we are going to forget.

It doesn’t help that ITAL’s website is all about touting for TOC’s business, for revenue collection and prosecution purposes. Nor that the Respondent to the appeal (Indigo/TOC principal) has chosen them even though a tried, tested and far more independent service is already available. ITAL will know that too many successful appeals means they will lose the business.

I still reckon we can use them to string a case along, try it out, make cases time out (issue a SAR if you lose!) and if their client is Indigo they cannot sanction a Mags court case anyway.

But once an appeal has been lost, ITAL can recommend to the Train Operating Company that the victim should be prosecuted in the magistrates court. Remember, by that time, ITAL have the full details of the motorist, supplied by the motorist, therefore no KADOE breach.

At that time Indigo's contract with the TOC is irrelevant... the TOC has motorist's details.

The TOC then agrees that IRCAS prosecute.

Note that:

Independent Revenue Collection and Support (IRCAS) is a trading name of ITAL Group (registered England & Wales Number: 04784751).

sent , received but still not answered

"thank you , I have a copy of indigo,s contract (published on pepipoo website) and it forbids them from starting court action in there own name , what worries me is that ITALs main activity is the assisting of prosecutions for the rail companies , and on the appeal form , you have omitted "keeper" , and want the OWNERS name , you also require DOB ?? why
maybe , once you have this info supplied by the customer , you can legally* hand this to the train Co who will start a prosecution in there own name

* DVLA KODOE contract forbids indigo from passing keepers details to a non BPA member = or train co

I think you may be wrong in this.
I don't believe prosecuting a case in the magistrates is the same since it is quite different to suing in their own name.
What is the specific wording on the contract?

So unless indigo are prevented from raising a prosecution then I think they can

KeithP

I think you'll find that byelaw cases can only be prosecuted by the aggrieved.

That's not Indigo.

Yet VCS could raise cases on behalf of bawtry council in regards to bylaws
