Hi


In all the time I've been involved with this parking on private land malarkey I've only ever seen 1 appeal to IAS being successful.
Of course, that may be due to poor feedback, but many people come back to their thread for either further help due to a knock-back, or to report a success.



I've seen anecdotal comments that they (IAS) claim something like 25% of appeals are allowed.


I just wondered whether you guys can give an opinion on that figure.

    I thought it was more like 20% and those that have been seen to be successful are sometimes random and surprising.


    The feeling being they uphold a small percentage just to appear to be on the straight and level, though anyone that has any interest or experience of their scam set up will know they are just a kangaroo court.

    My opinion is that the system is not entirely impartial.
    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.

    The IAS is simply a scam set up by Gladstones solicitors

    The purpose being is to protect IPC members by rejecting appeals so that Gladstones can jump in with fake claims.

    The odd few successful appeals we see on here, are just that, the "odd few"

    With the new government CoP and appeals service on it's way, the IAS will go in the trash can where it belongs.

    They appear to work on a criteria based decision. Not displaying a valid ticket jog on.

    That included the 19% which were cancelled by the PPC; so the actually appeals allowed is just 6%. (The comparable figures for POPLA are 16% allowed and 27% cancelled).
    (Figures are for the year ended 30th September 2018 in both instances).
  • I thought IAS stood for International Association of Scientologists hahaha well actually it does! maybe people would stand a better chance of winning an appeal writing to them :)
