  • So...we won the smaller case. Two main areas of defence, the first being around whether a contract existed, the second being whether Green Parking followed due process; the judge declined to rule on the first, but the case for the second was overwhelming. We have now also had a letter from QDR to advise that the larger case is being withdrawn. Thank goodness!

    I still cant quite believe it and am totally and utterly in debt to you guys, your help and guidance was brilliant, generously given, and spot on. Thank you so much xxxxx

    And so ends a truly scary episode for me and of course for my daughter. She's learned a huge lesson around where she parks and how much she should trust what others say, particularly "Don't worry, I'll sort it" if there is any kind of liability involved.

    Bless you all and thank you again! ShedHeadGirl

    Excellent result, especially in view of what was at risk. When you get back down to earth, could you give us a short court report please? What happened, did they field an advocate, how did he/she perform, what did the Judge say, etc ....

    As per nosferatu's question, could you give us a bit more on what 'due process' failure was please.
    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.
